Congratulations EricR, you have managed once again to bring balance to a tail dragging design. The nose wheel works very well with this subject. I wish it were this easy in 1:48th scale.

Kind of looks familiar:

ericr · « **Reply #2004 on:** May 20, 2020, 03:02:35 AM »

ah right indeed ! trying alternative engines can be a fun game : I have a few radials and others in the spares box :
maybe this can also participate in stash reduction by applying the trick to old kits

so, the BV222 flying boat with B52 wings was shown there :

and the reciprocal was an obvious thing to try :
and sometimes those systematic schemes lead to something slightly more strange than expected.
In this case, it looks a bit like an ekranoplan ?

Looks good but needs a bunch of turrets...

finsrin · « **Reply #2007 on:** May 28, 2020, 06:03:38 AM »

Hey, another that works in its own way.

Suspect a center of gravity issue. Yes, turrets would help.

That's not too bad and it really does need a lot of gun turrets like an Manga/Anime creation

Mind you it really looks like it should've been given the "Rutan" treatment

you know wings at the back tailplanes/canards at the front.

ericr · « **Reply #2010 on:** May 30, 2020, 01:31:31 PM »

ah yes the canard configuration could have been better, I can see it now : next time maybe?
(but I have to fetch the two kits first, and cheap

)

ericr · « **Reply #2011 on:** June 05, 2020, 12:46:20 AM »

another relatively big :

one way, a bit sporty :

and its reciprocal, a bit muscular :

elmayerle · « **Reply #2013 on:** June 05, 2020, 03:35:41 AM »

Very nice, both ways. They look the part well.

apophenia · « **Reply #2015 on:** June 05, 2020, 04:44:41 AM »

Very nice! The DC-6 fuselaged one has a real British Aerospace ATP look about it

The Transall-fuselage one is more like the early Weserflugzeugbau 4-engined AT 180 study ... yeah, I know, that last one's more than a little obscure

finsrin · « **Reply #2017 on:** June 05, 2020, 05:29:56 PM »

Sporty & bit muscular they are. Good eye for two more good swaps.

ericr · « **Reply #2018 on:** June 06, 2020, 02:23:43 PM »

thanks !

ericr · « **Reply #2019 on:** June 09, 2020, 02:36:20 PM »

and another large couple :

finsrin · « **Reply #2020 on:** June 09, 2020, 02:59:16 PM »

Great configuration. Another wanna build "favorite". Picture it painted WW2 German without swept tail.

ericr · « **Reply #2021 on:** June 09, 2020, 11:19:43 PM »

Jeffry Fontaine · « **Reply #2022 on:** June 10, 2020, 01:07:11 AM »

Such an unusual combination. Also it works well.

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #2023 on:** June 10, 2020, 03:17:17 AM »

elmayerle · « **Reply #2024 on:** June 10, 2020, 05:19:43 AM »

Very nice! can't wait to see it's opposite number.
