Tornado B45 (1/159) & B-707 (1/350), blue : hybrid aircraft/animals e.a.

Good model! (I say that as a Mustang fan...)
Years ago, one of us built such a half F-82 (with external F-82 wings though), but it had military colours and roundels and guns like a killer, so I prefer your gentle dreamy one... (I say that as a naive pacifist)

That combo works very well!

So the inevitable reciprocal ie. Hotspur with a laminar flow wing got me thinking - would that have been enough to keep gliders relevant in the jet age, allowing the glider to be towed at high subsonic speeds?

[Tophe]

I wonder: where will the other half of the F-82 go into?
We will see, no hurry... The surprise will probably be wonderful

[TheChronicOne]

Neat stuff!

[ericr]

thanks !

[ericr]

well, just a single fuselage with two wings ...

[Tophe]

I like this one too!
Where are the tailplanes coming from?

[ericr]

aha ! you will soon see 

[ericr]

a hint at a backstory ? how about :
a school picnic, a couple of teachers on one side, pupils on the other, and food & drinks in the central trunk & pod
with a radar to detect hot spots

A mega-hybrid if EVER I saw one! 

[kerick]

This belongs in some sort of movie like Crimson Skies or something diesel punk!

[Tophe]

  I love this civilian mix, triple!

[Tophe]

Thinking again about it: as there are on this model 2 fuselages and 2 engines, this is a "normal" F-82, no?
(Thanks for the inspiration: I am going to draw an asymmetric F-82 this way, without Do335/Hotspur influence)
