Hi all,
well, here is another of my experiments in chance meetings on a dissectingXXXXXXXX modeling table.
Actually, it is not chance in the sense of randomness, but it corresponds to the observation of a similarity, even it it concerns only a quite specific aspects of each of the two.
Both have wings, of course, but more than that, both are equipped with the very special feature of variable geometry.
They can change the orientation of their wings, usually in a symmetric, synchronized way.
Hence the idea of trying this crossing of a F-111 (more precisely : EF-111 Spark VArk, 1/48, HobbyCraft)
and a Viking / Asterix helmet (1/1, brand unknown)
The colors are, as usual with me, red yellow and blue, because I like them, and they put the emphasis on the shape of things, with no precise historical connotations.
So here goes the helmet with F111 wings, in two configurations :
and its reciprocal, with wings open, and closed :
