For Christmas, my father offered me the Junkers EF-112 (Unicraft 1/72), a twin-boomer of course. I plan to reduce its span making it a biplane, and remove its undercarriage, making it a glider, or a plane with 2-blade propellers, horizontal on the model.

Here are the parts of the kit:
-
make it a biplane !!! .... booms coming off the ends of the lower wings, I-struts between the wings .... + a jet engine under the back :o 8)
-
the jet engine is a wonderful idea, thanks!
For the canopy, I feel unable to handle properly the vacform one, so I plan to paint black a faired canopy in the nose:
-
I think the jet should go under the aft fuselage, Tophe -- ala that other aircarft (Revell 72nd kit).
Make it a prone pilot with all-glass nose ! (I have plans for a prone pilot in a scale-o-rama Luft'46 racer ;) )
-
Ahhh a jet powered, twin-boom biplane!
A certain Slowy-Jet builder should be along any moment to check this one out...
A real tour-de-force, mon-ami!

Splinded concept :)
Jet powered biplanes are rare in avaition.

I am just starting again modelling and I have no spare jet to install, while... the radial cowling could be a ramjet exhaust, ahem, I said "could"...
For the prone pilot with an all glazed nose, I think I won't: I feel like a trauma the diagnosis of Freudian psychiatrists pretending we love aircraft for their phallic shape, especially the ones with a faired glazed nose :( ;)

The PZL Belphegor is a famous one, see http://www.google.fr/search?q=pzl+belphegor (http://www.google.fr/search?q=pzl+belphegor) :)

What PZL Belphegor lacks in speed it makes up for in good looks ;) ;D

A little advanced:
-
For some reason, it looks futuristic to me. Cool.
-
Nice!
-
Coming along nicely.
-
Taking shape...

After the first sanding, and separating the wings in 2:
-
With putty again:
-
Just remains painting and it's done:
-
I like.
-
Thanks for your indulgence.
Here with the first paint:
-
Oh yes! Another masterpiece in the making!
I'm envious of your boundless creativity, mon ami!

Thanks Brian.
Well, this is not a masterpiece, according to me, but the one I had dreamed of has been turned solid almost successfully (thanks for the support):
-
That turned out very nicely, Tophe! Looks ready to explore another world...it's got a bit of a Space 1999 look to me.
Must be that very cool tinted canopy!
Excellent work, mon ami!

Thanks a lot, Brian :)

It does. But with a bit of Polish argicultural aircraft mixed in! I like it :)
