Nice!
What about twin-CorDare versions? or an asymmetric single-engine derivative?

back to the CorDare for versions ... it's obviously a W-(for wobbly)-wing :-\

I'm  impressed that you were able to resist the temptation to turn those outboard panels into gulls  ;D

F-44U variants are creative and inspirational to build one or apply elements of in a kit-bash.   :)  :)  :)

I have erased it, as required, while I don't understand if you were joking or not (in that erasing command) ???. If you wanted not to be known, why putting your name on each drawing? I may have discarded this name and the link towards here, but this was a great dreamy invention according to me. Thanks again for it.

Thanks. I feel better.
I think dreaming is one of the most peaceful things on Earth, not deserving war... Between victims, we may support each others and sing the glory of the F-44U-xxo... If the JMNs think we are stupid, let them be 'happy' in their sad way... we are simply in a different way. Dream.

been playing around with Shipbucket & Planebucket drawings for a bit & did these tanks.
SB scale = 2 pixels to 1 foot  &  FD scale = 22.093 px to 1 meter.

These T-34s are to FD scale.
I used the basic T-34/76 hull / tracks & T-34/85 turret by the other guys but did new wheels, sprockets & idlers for all profiles & totally new turrets / guns for the others. (original items in red frames)

well, I find that no two calculations agree (calculator, ruler or "official" conversion tables) so I guess everything's actually "close guesstimate" scale ;D -- even Tamiya's Spitfires don't conform to the known measurements taken off original unrestored airframes. :-\

SB scale = 2 pixels to 1 foot  &  FD scale = 22.093 px to 1 meter.

And here I am debating whether to standardise on 1 pixel to the centimeter or 2 pixels to the centimeter ;)

yes ARC, I'm considering a Syrian T-34-122 SP after a Colet 10 x 10 Fire-engine (see below).

SB obviously stands for ShipBucket scale -- a convenient scale of their choosing.

I've no idea what "FD" stands for & it's not explained on that site.  Its mainly for AFVs - they shoulda called that sub-forum "Bucket Bucket" :D - but it seems that anything goes as there are aircraft there too.  I won't be posting there again as the thread-posting rules seem to be very haphazard & the the moderators tend to be extremely Anal about pixel-width of the blank page you draw on -- so you end up with a big blank white page with a tiny drawing in the bottom left hand corner !! :-X
