"Sometimes a banana is just a banana."
- S. Freud

That's quite a flight of fancy there and you've got a good eye for figuring out which aircraft work with what animals/fruits/vegetables/other misc. items!

I smile every time I see a yellow color scheme. That hue challenges me to no end.

Nice work!

another Twin Otter (it is a nice kit, cheap, and each time you get a nice pair of floats to whiff with)
and another banana (it was a set of five I bought, and I am actually tempted by a second one)

Great! So good again!

Sorry: if I do not say "this is better and better", it is because the twin-boomer came first...

a banana in space!

I cheated a bit, by allowing for extended wheels and at the same time putting it on the booster ;-) because both views are nice

The shuttle is an Academy 1/144 (of which I had some cheap copies, still one left ...)

Tophe · « **Reply #707 on:** October 18, 2016, 12:28:36 PM »

With the heat coming down to earth, the banana would be cooked, good!

Bananae Frites ?!?

I'm beginning to think eric has some sort of hypnotic influence. The other day I bought a bunch of banana bread for no earthly reason.

a psychedelic influence ?

and it is not finished : I am designing a whole suite of aircraft across the ages (wait and see, more to come ;-) )

I like the use of all 3 colors on the banana shuttle!

Yes! Look at the proof: this morning, for no reason at all, I designed Lightning with nuclear jets, and the pilot was endangered by the rays so the Girafning version was better, then... a Banananing variant came into my mind, why???

bananas and giraffes? I might get influenced in return

ericr · « **Reply #714 on:** October 21, 2016, 10:42:35 PM »

there are not only bananas in life :

"this is not a pipe" (as Magritte once said) but made of one, with elements from a Mi-1 helicopter in 1/72 :

as most of you will have promptly noticed, appropriate weighting in order to avoid tail-sitting
involved a quite delicate front wheel placement

The rotor seems crazily logic: to dilute the tobacco fume into the air...

*laughs softly* Beautiful adaptation of a pipe for a novel item. I wonder if this could be an icon for "pipe dream"?

I didn't know that expressions, but google tells me :

pipe dream
noun: pipe dream; plural noun: pipe dreams; noun: pipedream; plural noun: pipedreams
an unattainable or fanciful hope or scheme.
"free trade in international aviation will remain a pipe dream"

which is essentially another definition of Whiff, isn't it?

more bananas :

a 1/28 Sopwith Camel (I am busy lowering my stash level ...)
and a banana, because I wanted to see how it could look as a biplane

Tophe · « **Reply #722 on:** October 27, 2016, 01:03:39 AM »

This is very logical (thus perfect): at a time when aerodynamics was not mandatory, a curved fuselage was very possible...

the other half of the 1/28 Camel had to have a life, and in my qtash I had this Revell wooden kit of da Vinci designed wings for manned flight :
