Random whiffs you have found

[jcf]

At last Satuday's IPMS-Seattle Spring Show in the Modelfy category (in Modelfy the subject can be anything as long as it uses parts from
a pre-determined kit or subject chosed by the previous year winner, this year the subject was Mustang, plane or car.)

I give you the MesserSpitWulfStang Mk. 0. 





I'll post the builder's name once I know it.   :)

Hmmm...has a look similar to some drawings on this forum.

Where are the parts from Zero Sen?

Lovely anyway.

[Vuk]

^ My first thought also... I think that the fin comes from Zero.

I was thinking the same. It's very cool though  :)

Built by Ken Murphy, who was the winner of the previous A-10 Modelfy and chose the Mustang subject for this year,
I kinda doubt Ken has even seen the drawings on this site.

1:1 Whiffs:




I really like the MiG-23 - could be right out of here

Those were in SPECTRE?  Don't remember seeing them. Then again, the less I remember about that boring mess, the better. 

[Kelmola]

They weren't for SPECTRE, they were for Spectral. The confusion is understandable, but at least a few early news sources got the story right at the time. Of course, it's much easier to clickbait people with James Bond, so once the first site made the error, the others didn't even bother to check anymore...

I really like the MiG-23 ...

The MiG-21 is quite a visual improvement too ... but a glider, I presume

Looks like a rocket-propelled point-defense interceptor (Avro 720, anyone?).

It actually looks like a sleeker single seat version of the "Archangel" rocket powered Mig-21UM derivative that X-Rocket LLC studied with XCOR Aerospace as an astronaut trainer in 2002...

Love that peacenik VW battlefield survival van 

[dy031101]

The modification is so extensive on this one that you wouldn't know this build is based a Shinano hull......

("PRJ" means "People's Republic of Japan", and "Tohitsu" means "Unification", for those interested in the nationality of the ship depicted.  I think I might steal the idea for a Shipbucket graph in the future......)

That is a nice looking carrier. It does look like they have gone with Super Flankers for planes for the carrier including a Berkut in the first picture. After translating I see that they are indeed Flankers.

Apparently re-engined:

• Engine output 179000 shp
• Maximum speed 29.6 kt

Armaments:

• 3K95 Kinzhal VLS x 8
• RBU-1000 x 2
• Kashtan CIWS x 6
• AK-630M x 4

Airwing:

• Su-33 x 24 ~ 30
• Ka-27PL/Ka-28 x 6 ~ 8

Nice find

[dy031101]

From the same site, one of the idea out of an old fantasy novel series "Konpeki no Kantai".

Re-boilered and with a clipper bow added; maximum speed 26.5 kt.

A, B, and X turrets removed.  Hangar and a large catapult added forward.  Hangar can accommodate three floatplane fighters and unknown number of surface-to-surface artillery rockets (both launched via the catapult).

From the spinoff of "Konpeki no Kantai", Shingen class aviation battleship of "Kyokujitsu no Kantai".

(Yeah.  Firing those 16" guns to the port side seems like a very bad idea just from the look of it.  And my untrained mind is unable to think of how having all those weapons offset to the starboard side could be balanced......)

Also from the spinoff of "Konpeki no Kantai", Korou class aviation battlecruiser of "Kyokujitsu no Kantai".

Disclaimer: Any mention of the fantasy novel series "Konpeki no Kantai" and/or "Kyokujitsu no Kantai" does not and shall not reflect the political ideology of dy031101 

EDIT: Replaced the links with those in Wayback Machine.

Some more very interesting builds. I especially like the Shingen class aviation battleship. Though the balance issue does confound me as well since I doubt the flight deck is heavy enough to balance out those 3 armoured turrets and guns.

Great modelling none the less.
