The Fokker T.VI, or also know as the Ontwerp 115 (Design 115), couldn't be complete due to invasion of Holland by Germany.

I am giving up listing them. They all end up on the shelf of procrastination anyways.

The mythical land carrier! Complete with battleship turrets and WWII-era bridge controls!
Tomi Väisänen gives it a far better art treatment than it deserves... it nearly seems plausible.

My comment: When the Navy and Army are combined and you only have enough funds to build one aircraft carrier, one armored dreadnaught and use analog technology to prevent cyber attacks.

Based on experience with Mega-Carrier would start with 1/200-350 or so aircraft carrier.   Pick armor kits for tracks you like.   One similar to this can be built given that you want to signup for it.

Revell used to sell the Transporter with their Space Shuttle in one of the many variations of that model in 1:144th scale.

^ reminds of Bill Gunston illustrations from those 1980's aircraft books that were oddly tall & narrow shaped.

Via Facebook.



Builder's notes: The P/A-7 is mainly an F7F and F/A-18, with the engines from a resin BT-67 turbo Dakota conversion kit. The refueling probe, some antennas and the nose radar are from an MH-60
