AZ MB.6 Skyferret - Pre-whiffed!
« on: March 10, 2024, 06:16:37 AM »
I was feeling a bit of cabin fever, and thought I’d dig out a cool “Whif of a whif” kit today. To that end, check out the MB.6 “Sky Ferret”, a theoretical two-seater heavy fighter based on the non-produced MB.5! How many layers of alternative reality can you handle?

This one has all kinds of potential. Just think of the postwar Whiffery that awaits!

A touch of Breguet Alize in the nose ?  We really ought to have a competition of "mash-ups".

I have the kit as well. Also have not decided on what mods would look good on it.

Larger wings vis-à-vis the MB.5. A large tail. T-33 tip tanks.

You also get an extra fuselage.

Work in progress ::

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

Lots of whiff potential here! Camo and markings are endless. A turbo prop engine would be interesting.

I never realised the MB.6 was a two-seater. How cool! I'm standing by and excited. I need to get one of those MB.5s.

Two of these side by side on the same wing would make the F-82 look weak!

... the MB.6 “Sky Ferret”, a theoretical two-seater heavy fighter based on the non-produced MB.5! ...

Cool! At 1/1 scale, if you switched to a hydraulically-actuated undercarriage, you wouldn't need that huge pneumatic ram and its air bottle mounted behind the MB.5's cockpit. A bit of R/T reorganization and, hey presto, instant space for the guy-in-back  :smiley:

And with two fuselages in the kit, you're already well on the way  :D
