Quite a while since I posted here (other than on a specific topic), but I don't see a separate topic for Ekranoplans.

All these going years back are excellent  :-*
More kit-bash concepts than I could ever deal with.   If had more of myself (clones) to do kit-bashes see several to build.

Like 'em all ... but I'm stunned by how natural-looking your Ju 86 biplane is!

Mini-jet powered Wessex !

The navigator never did like being buried - much happier with a more spacious tandem cockpit.

My favourite custom is "Tailspin"...

That is utterly bonkers! And, obviously, I mean that as a compliment to the builders  ;D

I like your back-to-front pickup truck too. Although, I would want to have to parallel park that sucker ...

Tailspin is gorgeous - reminds me of the guy who fused two front-halves of a Trabant together to drive, and made a trailer out of the two back halves.

Nice! So, the V-1000 becomes a bomber  :smiley:

I'm guessing that your 'VC.9' (rather than being a RW Vanguard) is a follow-on designation from the civilian VC.7? AFAIK, the V-1000 and VC.7 airframes were to be virtually identical (the former simply having more RAF-y kit installed).

I'm also curious, is your Trident-tailled VC.9B a 5-engined aircraft?
