Title: Wild Ass and Gorgeous simulacrum
Post by: pebbleworm on October 26, 2026, 01:43:23 AM
Inspired by the wild ass and gorgeous magazine cover jet, I was thinking of how to build one and rather than get a few new kits to butcher, none of which would be perfect, I just decided to cut up some moldering in the stash- a Lindberg F-100 and a Heller Le Redoutable.  The missile deck of the sub at least mimics  the flat bottom of the F-100.  I sank the tailfin to a slightly swoopier angle and the wings will just be sheet plastic starfighter type.  I want this to go together quickly- we'll see how that works. The major investment will be a can of silver car paint.

Looking good!
I’m trying one too. F-104 front fuselage from the Heller kit.
