GobliBolt, from the sparebox

Among the miscallenous parts of modelling years (now finished), I found those parts that could become something.
The wings and tailplanes are F-85 Goblin's I think, the canopy and propeller are from a P-47B Thunderbolt I think, the pod/fuselage was a F-18 Hornet's tank... All together, this will be something...

The 4 wings could have been biplane ones if the fuselage was high enough or the canopy small, but I decided at last for tandem wings:

It was finshed... but the pusher propeller has broken away.

Gluing the propeller again (with a Hornet support tool...):

Mon dieu! Tophe, your creativity and imagination never cease to delight and amaze me! I love the unique layout of this bird which is only enhanced by your signature opaque canopy!

Excuse me. I don't know if this plane is a Cannard or a Biplane. Very interesting

It's a Tophe-plane, so it's a canard assymetric pusher biplane, all at once.

I'm agree, "the Tophe Touch"
