So good. With retirement of space shuttles, you have repurposed the transporter as a mobile coastal defence gun battery.
DC-3 conversion is a favorite for me.
Thanks for posting.

It does look right with a Pe-2 tail doesn't it?

Wow, a packed airliner cabin and unlimited Red Bull....all passengers hands should be leather bagged like is done with trained performing bears.

That's some great stuff, raafif! I really like how you got NASA to finally build a Moon Landship!

Whoa, awesome!

I think it's hilarious!
Hmmm, I wonder whether the sci-fi modelling faction also has their share of JMNs that gets miffed about "heretic" stuff like this.

finsrin · « **Reply #7 on:** February 16, 2012, 08:10:45 AM »

If it was a model in stores I would finish the transporter as a mobile coastal defence gun battery.
But don't know if it should be Army and Olive Drab or Navy and Battleship Gray. If navy, could have shined brass pieces here-n-there.

Yep, they sure do !!! To some of them, using decals from another Ma.K kit or a mod so mild that us here don't even consider it worth mentioning will cause great upset

Oh, good to know! Ma.K Sponge-Bob must drive 'em wild

Thought as much. Seems there's Joyless types everywhere. Although it's kinda twice as odd in the Ma.K. universe, where a lot of stuff was scrounged from other kits in the first place.

well, it's nice of you guys to say I'm a Genius

-- 4 to 2 (I voted "Genius" for myself so guess that one don't really count).
I've told my cat but he just looked at me with his normal derision ...

eh, what ?

What to do with a Beluga kit with yellowed decals when you don't like airliners ...
turn it into a sub ! (kit in the "to build someday" pile)

Soon I'll upload my 15 Lancaster / Lincoln profiles.

Brian da Basher · « **Reply #13 on:** February 18, 2012, 07:34:05 AM »

Love it! You turn air freighters into subs and I turn subs into airships.

I hope you're not too disturbed by being on a wavelength with someone like me...

Your antipersonnel threatening machine makes me all shivering... I surrender! Stop it!

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #20 on:** February 19, 2012, 11:07:59 AM »

Oh, that antipersonnel machine is so wrong...and so right!

Rafael · « **Reply #21 on:** February 19, 2012, 11:46:10 AM »

And the Ming-5s are stupendous

finsrin · « **Reply #22 on:** February 19, 2012, 01:41:12 PM »

Anti-personnel does double duty as mine field clearing machine.
FU-280 variants are great.
Favorites: Ming-5c & d be available in resin or plastic soon?
I still buy into space shuttle transporter as mobile coastal defense gun battery. Know if there is a kit of the transporter?

raafif · « **Reply #23 on:** February 20, 2012, 06:39:07 AM »

finsrin,
there was a 1/400th transporter as part of a resin launch-tower kit. But I think it would be esier to start with four 1/72nd Churchill tanks or maybe if you could find something suitable in a toy shop -- I had a look myself & it seems too expensive + lots of scratch-building with plastruct girders.

The Ming-5s can be altered from a Mig-15 which is what I used for the line-drawing. A 1/72nd model based on a F-86 Sabre or FJ-1 Fury kit gave me the idea for the wing shapes - just need to do new wings & fin.

Brian da Basher · « **Reply #24 on:** February 20, 2012, 05:49:58 PM »

Your "Strawberry Jam" maker is a riot, raafif! I really like the hungry-looking shark's mouth on the gun tower! Sweet!
