I want
1, 2, 5, 10 in 1/72!
-
Joining front of TSR-2 with rear of YF-23 is the best way to have one :)
-
An airfix 1/600 Victorious just happens to scale to about the size of a 1/700 Malta.............

A 1/72 Walrus morphed into a 1/144 flying boat:
(http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g392/Bri2k/Odds/Bayleen004.jpg) (http://s1099.photobucket.com/user/Bri2k/media/Odds/Bayleen004.jpg.html)

Various 1/72 pontoon projects, first one became a 1/900ish scale sub, the USS Crappie.
(http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g392/Bri2k/Odds/USS%20Crappie_001.jpg) (http://s1099.photobucket.com/user/Bri2k/media/Odds/USS%20Crappie_001.jpg.html)
This one became a 1/144 Canadian flying boat using 1/72 Sopwith Tripe wings & horiz stabs:
(http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g392/Bri2k/Odds/Carling_004.jpg) (http://s1099.photobucket.com/user/Bri2k/media/Odds/Carling_004.jpg.html)

and this one turned into an Argentine flying boat:
(http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g392/Bri2k/Odds/Balboa_09.jpg) (http://s1099.photobucket.com/user/Bri2k/media/Odds/Balboa_09.jpg.html)
This was a 1/144 Guppy that became the 1/350ish Yellow Submarine Mk II:
(http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g392/Bri2k/Odds/Yella_Sub_00013.jpg) (http://s1099.photobucket.com/user/Bri2k/media/Odds/Yella_Sub_00013.jpg.html)
Next up are various 1/700 sub hulls that became 1/1000ish airships:
(http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g392/Bri2k/Odds/TWA_airship_04.jpg) (http://s1099.photobucket.com/user/Bri2k/media/Odds/TWA_airship_04.jpg.html)

Now two 1/48 kits shrunk to 1/72. First one was the famous Testor's Curtiss Racer biplane:
(http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g392/Bri2k/Odds/Cumulus_006.jpg) (http://s1099.photobucket.com/user/Bri2k/media/Odds/Cumulus_006.jpg.html)
and the venerable Testor's Spirit of St Louis which became a 1/144 trimotor airliner:
(http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g392/Bri2k/Odds/C3_05.jpg) (http://s1099.photobucket.com/user/Bri2k/media/Odds/C3_05.jpg.html)
Last is my favorite, a 1/72 He-219 Uhu that turned into the 1/144 Tophe 4 motor:
(http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g392/Bri2k/Odds/Tophe_Four003.jpg) (http://s1099.photobucket.com/user/Bri2k/media/Odds/Tophe_Four003.jpg.html)
(http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g392/Bri2k/Odds/Tophe_Four004.jpg) (http://s1099.photobucket.com/user/Bri2k/media/Odds/Tophe_Four004.jpg.html)
I got a million of 'em!

That's the contraption from an episode of Firefly.

Scaled down F-22 ;)

Probably going to regret this but I actually find the F-35 to be ascetically more pleasing than the F-22.

I'm waiting for a lightning bolt from Air Power Australia to strike me dead. ;)
No positive statements relating to the F-35 will be tolerated ever.

Same. I've been kicking around grafting an F-35 front section onto an F-22... someday. Here is more F-22 like JSF concept that could also be toyed with with when it comes to scale:
(http://www.jsf.mil/images/gallery/cddr/lockheed/cddr_loc_004.jpg)
and another F-22 scale-o-rama idea:

F-35 is scaled up about 10 percent from X-35^

They look like small skid steer track
-
I was thinking of something like that once and looked at the tracks on small snow blowers, too small
This looks smaller than a skid steer
-
Well there are these types, I see them all the time around the airport where the contractors have to get into small spaces

My simplest 1/72 scaleorama was F-94E. 1/82 F-94C with 1/72 Mig-15 wings. Downsized crew to one. Liked that main and tail wing sweep matched.
Most complex/hardest 1/72 scaleorama was PBH-417. 1/200 Spruce Goose bashed with 1/72 Lancaster engines & front turret, 1/72 B-17 cockpit & tail section, 1/72 Catalina side blisters. With mediocre skills it was a time consuming bugger to build.

A 1/48 Spitfire converted to a 1/72 twin engine bomber. Did this a few years ago for a Spitfire GB on What IF Modeling.
Shown here next to a standard 1/72 Spitfire.

Very nice Ed. What is your bill of materials?

Yes, very nice and what were, engines, canopy, etc.

Very nice Ed. What is your bill of materials?
Started with a Hobby Craft Spitfire. Had the two radial engines and props in the spare parts box. Don't remember their origin. Use some bits of sheet and rod styrene for interior details and made molds to vacuform the clear parts. Pretty simple really.
-
Ed, as usual, those are all fantastic builds... but the Spitfire twin engine fighter is spectacular! It has a Russian Pe-2 vibe to it.
-
Really like the PBY-17 Lancaster Goose. Bill. Awesome job! :) :-*
The Super Spit is outstanding, Ed! :) 8)

Time to take look at 1/48 Spitfire in stash.
Spoze 1/32 Spitfire can be 4-engine bomber.

Megaforce, a Toy line from Kenner in the late 1980s has lots of Scale O Rama present:

I still have at least two of those fighter bombers !!

Yep, I had a number of those. They were awesome.
Cheers,
Logan

I plan on doing one in 1/72 someday. They don't have intakes lol, so that could be interesting
-
I also had some of the "opposing" force, ones, they were tan and had a twin tail.

Wow! :-*
-
Two 1/144 B-29 and one 1/48 B-29 engine will get you close......

Plus maybe 1/72 landing gear? ???

Just had a thought what to do with my left over Belfast hull, crunched the numbers and scaloramering it from 1/600 to 1/700 you end up with a ship not dissimilar in size to the USNs Salem class.
Possibilities, late war heavy cruiser, post war missile cruiser, pre war (post treaty) large cruiser / seaplane cruiser.

Is inspiring --- With 1/32-1/35 rotor blades can build a super lift tri-rotor 1/72 helicopter.

All that armour & fire-power & what does it take to stop it? ???
One brave girl & a crew with a conscience! :)

All that armour & fire-power & what does it take to stop it? ???
Soft ground !

Soft ground !
And, with all that weight, a paved highway probably classifies as "soft ground". ;D

I also like this helo. Start with 2 CH-47s kits, scratch build the extensions, add some Agusta Westland AW101 or CH-53 blades and you have a close approximation.

Got some 1/32 rotor blades from a CH-47 to do just that, only they're for a 1/72 C-130 sized Rotordyne
Not sure if this is appropriate here, but I can't remember if I ever posted these I drew quite a few years ago (read: pre-computer days)
-
Those look great kit! Nice drawings !
-
Thanks TC,
Just so you can imagine the size of them, the car in the drawings is of a '78 Camaro (my wife was driving one at the time so I measured it up). IIRC, the blade chords are about 5 feet, I had calculated the wing area of a C-130 then worked out from there how big (and how many) the rotor blades would have to be.
