Especially like the chopper.  :smiley:    Inspiring to try chopper based kit-bash some day.

I see it too -- MS.760 Paris with 'weight issues'  ;D

Beautiful, both of them!!  The red one makes for a different and attractive Cobra.  The blue one looks like an early iteration on developing the Cessna Model 407A further.

The red chopper has Blofeld and Co. lining up asking for a version in black.  ;) :smiley:

That Vulcan AWACS sure is delightful and I've never seen a modeler with a better eye for primary colors.

That Vulcan AWACS is a treat that looks right.  You've got the colors nicely balanced, too.

Concept for repurposing retired Vulcans.  Bet RAF never thought of it.   :smiley:   Time to send them link to this posting.

For long time a lingering kit-bash idea has been to AWACS something, be it EC-121 or E-3 style.   Like the RAF, never would thought of this.

No worse that ELINT systems operators crammed into the bomb bay of ERB-47Hs, or the every day cramming on E-2s.

@EricR - Nice!  But I see a missed opportunity to put the pilot station further back (rear bubble) and fill in the original position up front.  A nice modification nonetheless and the engines do not look out of place or undersized on that wing.

An inspiring inspiration to build more flying wings variants after Experimental Flying Wing Bomber is finished.  Plenty AMT B-35 B-49 kits in stash to do so.

Over wing engines per your fine example. :smiley:  Modification of in wing.  Under wing too.
