Great starting point for detail painting of crash site. :smiley:
-
I like it but it would be better if the grey dust was only on the upper surfaces, where it would have settled, with the rest of the P-40 in whatever Earthly scheme the builder found appropriate. :smiley: 8)

I'mnot sure if it fits here or not, but there's a party putting videos on YouTube looking at various sf and fantasy works as if done in the 1920's. He's got some fascinating work.
-
What I like about it is the chiaroscuro paint job, good way to salvage an old build that's beyond refinishing.

Two amazing ideas , very good !

Rummaging thru my half-built stash I came across this .....
I love the old SF3D kits & have a Fledermaus (which I'm modifying with two rear engines). As I couldn't get one at first, I scored a spare cockpit from a guy in the US to mate with a Hornisse but then I decided to use it to make a model of a prototype cockpit mock-up. I've added a belly-tank from a 124th motorcycle & used the rocket pods from a DML 1/35 MD-500.
I really should get back onto it ....
-
SF3D (or Maschinen Kreiger, Ma.K as it is styled these days) has some wonderful designs-I haven't seen a Fledermaus in ages. Looks like it will be a fun build. I think the missile pods from the old Academy 1/48 MD 500 were used as the laser-equipped forearms on one of the early suits, just as the fuselage of the same was used for the main body. I look forward to seeing your progress.

An inspirational but rhetorical question.

First reaction: "Why do we need tanks to assault babies?"
Second reaction: "I bet babies make terrible tank crew."

Don't give the Russians ideas...
The original drawing is from 1952, by Frank Tinsley.

That first one looks like an attack helicopter without rorors . . .

Too late, but perfect for the outta-scale builds

30 second attention spans, fixated on boobies, poop their pants on a regular basis = basic functions of a 19 series D.A.T.
However, you may have a point as they weigh about the same as a 105mm HEAT round.

I wonder if good old Frank had a job in the defense industry. I hope not……

And a frequent illustrator at Mechanics Illustrated, the Popular Science/Popular Mechanics of it day. I recall he also illustrated "Why don't we build Flying Rams?" and "Why don't we build Underwater Tanks." (A youtuber who goes by 'Cone of Arc' does a neat short video on the latter.)

His Lunar Unicycle looks buildable:

Estes made a flying model rocket from his Mars Snooper:
