Title: musical crossing : Chengdu F-7E and flute
Post by: ericr on December 28, 2013, 12:30:50 AM: Hi all,

coming back to a topic on "hybrids : aircraft & music instruments" from some time ago on another forum :
http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,37000.msg597452.html#msg597452 (http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,37000.msg597452.html#msg597452)
I finally had a try at a musical crossing between a Chengdu F-7E and a flute, inspired, indirectly, by this record cover, especially some of the hybrids in the back :

So here it goes, made from a flute :

and a 1/48 Chengdu F7 :

and this is the result, in my usual favourite colors :

ah, a canopy, yes indeed : actually on that record cover, the clarinet-based plane on the left has one, it looks more "inhabited" that way : I will try that on a next version of the concept ...

I hadn't thought of that, but it does look like a sail-vessel canon, seen from the front : a nice contrast in arm technology :-\

Kudos on another incredibly imaginative model! Your use of diverse materials never ceases to amaze me!
