Not only a cool whif, but also nicely finished.

Maybe the railroads could have maintained passenger service longer if they took a can't beat 'em, might as well join 'em approach.

Ooh! Nice! 

These schemes, but on zeppelins and aircraft for the 20s/30s GB?

Very nice, 'cept the Feds shut them down after WW II when they tried it.  The ATSF (Santa Fe) railroad was definitely into developing an air cargo operation and both DC-4's and Dc-3's flew in a variation of their "Warbonnet" paint scheme.  Since D&H did a variation on that with the Alco PA-2's they purchased from the Santa Fe, 'twould be interesting to see that scheme, in their colors. on a modern aircraft.

I would guess the scale to be 1/72nd and that is only because there is an ESCI 1/9th KettenKrad on display behind it.

Wow, particularly like the Canberra interceptor (with F-89 Scorpion-like wingtip missile pods)😯👍
Also trying to assertain what's deemed different with the Invincible class model?🤔

That cartoonish looking airplane in front of the carrier looks like a Supermarine drawing board design.

No, it's a prone-pilot Hunter. The modeller merely took the experimental prone-pilot Gloster Meteor F8 a step further.

It's a Dutch what-if; HNLMS Karel Doorman, what-if the Dutch had purchased an Invincible class carrier.
The aircraft behind it are also Dutch what-if's.

Here's Halberd models  excellent 1/48 Cavalier Turbo Mustang III conversion finished as a "whif" SAAF Atlas Swartkraai Mk 1, based somewhere in Angola during the Border War in 1978. A full article will appear in SAM - Scale Aircraft Modelling soon.

Nice build !

I like how the underside camouflage colour wraps around the lower fuselage and up over that huge, honkin' fin 

And I love the 'Cape Crow' name 

[ChernayaAkula]

Gorgeous model!

Found on a Canadian What-if Group.

Found on the internet:



anyone care to guess what it started as and what went into it?

Masterpiece.   Now design a model box (Airfix, Lindberg, whatever) with this picture on it.

Start with a 1/72 SU-22=UM3 "Fitter", add intakes from a 1/48 A-4, and perhaps the nose, from the front of the windscreen forward, of a 1/48 F-4E or F-4F?

And some SEA camo to go with the markings.
