Well,this is quite something,me likey and reminds me of my stalled projects three wheeled 'cars' La 5,Fw-190,Bf-109...

Thanks! Your ones are interesting, do you have pictures or drawings?

AXOR · « **Reply #76 on:** August 25, 2016, 08:49:31 PM »

Got pictures, but I talk about models here

I really like the race car and the one from back on August 23rd with the tiny little P-38 in the middle.

Such wonderful whimsy, mon ami!

I thought it was a drone at first
Good idea! Thanks!

A new drone, triple, came from 1/32+1/72+1/144:

Less funny (sorry) was the sesquiplane 1/48+1/72 (very long range, high maneuverability):

Tophe · « **Reply #82 on:** August 27, 2016, 01:58:44 AM »

1/144+1/72:

Tophe · « **Reply #83 on:** August 27, 2016, 02:08:34 AM »

Slightly different, better centered maybe:

One Lightning from 3: one 1/72 basis, one 1/48 fins, two 1/144 canopies:

Love the last one, the proportions are too fun :)

Tophe · « **Reply #86 on:** August 29, 2016, 04:13:50 PM »

Thanks!
With the same scales 1/72+1/144 there is also this one:

On a 1/72nd model, truncated 1/144th booms can be used as additional jets:

Here is another way, and twinning of it:

This Lightning Twin-Push flying-wing (then canard) was not scale-o-rama on the 3 first steps, then 1/144 on 1/72 improved the balance...

I like the cockpit at the very tip like that! Very cool look overall too :)

It simply amazes me the variety of versions that you expose here ! Incredible !

:)

But it is not finished (unless strong psychotropic drugs are discovered to cure my madness...):

Ahem, simply mixing 1/144 with 1/72 was due to medicines, being free I would mix 1/144 with 1/24:

Uh, I feel afraid a little: now I have mixed 1/144 with 1/12 BUT... 1/12 scale aircraft does not exist! This is becoming "like" crazy!

Brian da Basher · « **Reply #94 on:** August 31, 2016, 11:23:44 PM »

I really like this one, it makes me think of a flying turtle!

Pure delight!

Thanks Brian!

And... as you are one of the rare modellers building airships, what do you think of this Zeppening airship mixing 1/144 and 1/24 Lightning parts?

Tophe · « **Reply #96 on:** September 02, 2016, 01:52:25 AM »

The "all 1/48" half-canard biplane Lightning was ugly, but having 1/72 Lightning on top (into a sesquiplane) provided beauty somehow, thanks Scale-o-Rama...

Brian da Basher · « **Reply #97 on:** September 02, 2016, 09:28:46 AM »

Your Zeppelin Lighting is an outstanding concept that really has me thinking, mon ami!

I saw a digital drawing back about 10 years ago of a British airship with a large passenger cabin on top, but I like your design much better!

The view would be epic and panoramic!

Wonderful stuff, Tophe!

Thanks a lot, Brian!

Now, the push-pull layout was very difficult to build: where to find a foreplane small enough?
A 1/72 "tail" on 1/48 model provided the answer:

Do like this one with foreplane !
