(I was just dreaming of a profile

I was wrong, sorry, this was not spectacular, I had to shorten the port nose and move the front canopy back...:

(apart of the Twin-Corsair result, here is the modified Corsair I used:)

The Baltic Dispute, November 1940 -- after taking Norway, Germany attacks Sweden, taking advantage of the winter freeze of the Baltic Sea to launch their attack over the ice. Air support is provided by Me-109s, Hs-123s, Ju-88s, He-111s & Stukas - all equipped with skis. The armoured thrust is by light tanks that won't fall through the ice such as the Pz-1's & II's and "ski-sled" versions of the SdKfz-222 & SdKfz-232. Infantry are towed in armoured sledges by the tanks & halftracks.

The on-going war between India & Pakistan in the Himalaya mountain range demands new ideas to advance from the current static warfare. They both choose the Gamma Goat as a base vehicle for modifiying into a compact, mobile lightly-armoured combat-car that can climb the steep terrain.

Could you put wings on it like an Antonov KT (flying tank)? :)

Why is there no "grumpy- sticking tongue out at you" emoticon ?

Love the sled versions of the 222 and 232. :)
I vaguely recall seeing a box-art of some 222 kit on the net, but it had a funny light reflection on it that blinded out the wheels and made the whole shebang look like an anti-grav APC.

Dear Raafif, here is the (Antonov-KT-inspired) biplane you suggested me to draw:

Alas, it is not perfectly twin-boom, and I would prefer a monoplane. May I try again?

Tophe · « **Reply #384 on:** October 04, 2013, 11:50:36 AM »

No refusal? So... here is the Antonov-Sk (a flying-tank airplane, no more a glider!) twin-boom made with a captured Sdkfz-232:

raafif · « **Reply #385 on:** October 05, 2013, 04:18:44 AM »

I would have insisted on sticking to a bi-plane but needed a day out so took my car for a walk to charge the injectors & battery ..... spent an hour walking thru a river deep in a cave & long drive back.

Almost finished a 3D drawing ...... maybe tomorrow.

Tophe · « **Reply #386 on:** October 05, 2013, 11:25:25 AM »

Dear Super-Hero... thanks for still thinking about us in all your adventures...

"Someday" will be fine for this drawing that will please us very much, for sure.

WW.1 Armour ...

Cool! I like the Starfighter.

following the "Great Accident", resulting in the moon moving out of Earth's orbit & drifting off, Moon-base Alpha was left to its own devices to survive. Over the next few years they had the usual malfunctions in their equipment & with very few spares at hand, made do with what they had. Eagle Transporter 3 suffered a major fire in the cockpit area rendering it unrepairable & so damaging it that the crew-pod was no longer able to hold an atmosphere. Unable to bring themselves to park Eagle-3 for parts just yet, the engineers decided to scavenge the crew-pod from the Falcon Lander that had failed to launch from the 1985 Moon-landing due to a fuel-pump failure. Even though it still contained the bodies of the two astronauts that were condemned to a slow death & was considered as sacred as a war grave, they appreciated that Alpha's situation justified such a move.
The complete Falcon was retrieved and the astronauts buried in the landing crater - a simple monument was built over them. The lower Falcon stage was stripped of everything usable & the upper, crew section was fully refurbished with new & 2nd-hand parts. A jury-rig stystem of controls gave the pilots equally good control as a standard Eagle though her front-end didn't look anything like standard now .....

Japanese what-if armour ...
Japan gets handed the German NeuBauFahrzeug & replaces the Pz-1 turrets with their own conical ones.

Panther ballistic-shaped tank (3/4 the size of a Panther tho).

Japanese "Hetzer" on Chi-Ha chassis.

Logan Hartke · « **Reply #392 on:** November 27, 2013, 06:57:56 AM »

These are great. They look more "Japanese" than most What-If designs.

Cheers,

Logan

Talos · « **Reply #393 on:** November 27, 2013, 07:20:23 AM »

I really love the look of that Chi-Hatzer. Awesome job on it!

finsrin · « **Reply #394 on:** November 27, 2013, 09:21:46 AM »

Each of three is so different from the others, yet each looks right for what it is :)
Nb.Fz. is my favorite

Kitbash build of Panther ballistic-shaped tank (3/4 the size of a Panther tho) parked next to a stock Panther would make for and interesting study.

raafif · « **Reply #395 on:** November 27, 2013, 12:49:58 PM »

thanks guys

I've tried this subject on other modelling & what-if sites but the concept of J-46 AFVs seems to be Verboten !!! even among the guys who mostly build German Panzer-46 stuff

.

I have measured up a 1/48th Panther hull & it is as long as a 1/35th Chi-Ha chassis & about 1cm wider so would work well. Need to add 35th figures to properly show the scale & bamboozle some.
A mix'n'match of various Japanese tanks with a few German & Russian components would work surprisingly well in plastic with a little simple effort.

Outstanding, wheres my angle grinder and dads old combi!

raafif · « **Reply #398 on:** March 24, 2014, 09:59:41 AM »

Don't forget to add the peripheral chassis-frame first -
cut-down Combi's tend to get a bit floppy with out them
