Wellcrum?

 ;D  Fulington?  I'd love to see that one without its fabric covering, exposing the geodesic construction of those twin tails  :smiley:

Love the red one, very nice lines  :-*

The yellow one has a cartoony feel to it but a clever kitbash nonetheless

Nice one

Fine eye/taste for what changes to make.  These two and prior configurations impress me.  :smiley:
Looks like 1950s C-45 jet version.  Double the speed or more.

While we've got many flavors of crazy 'round these parts, eric's version is one of my favorite.

His knack for choosing the best primary color is eerily unerring. Sometimes I wish he'd host a symposium on it or something.

I like the red one best, but they're all grand and done in that inimitable style we enjoy.

Veltro K-C.205 tanker, blue : hybrid aircraft/animals e.a.
« Reply #1665 on: August 28, 2019, 07:42:08 PM »

I had this 1/32 Veltro for quite a long time, and suddenly knew how to use it
to make it a buddy-refuelling aircraft (with a boom from a KC-97)





the arrangement is slightly asymetric, because of the tail wheel, but nothing is perfect  ;)

I have to say that the 48th scale wings mated to the C-135 fuselage do work well in appearance and fit.  Is that the 1:72nd scale C-135 kit from Italeri/AMT-Ertl?

I can only concur with my esteemed colleagues here and add that my mom would've congratulated you on the magnificent color choice as well.
