dragonfly & DC-8 (1/350), red : hybrid aircraft/animals e.a.

[Tophe]

Ericr, I think you fully deserve the position "Minister of Art"! (in France or in the World at UNO)

[Weaver]

and now for something completely different :

it is a kit bash, as well as a scale-o-rama, and on the top of that an alternative livery,
even if there is no trace of an aircraft there






(and it was inspired to me by a picture I saw somewhere on the internet, but I can't find it anymore)

If that wasn't in the background of a shot from Avatar then it should have been. Beautiful - well done! 

Needs a rider...

Needs a rider...

The other half of each kit, perhaps?

[ericr]

thanks all 

more Viscounts to come ...

the other half of the fish is visible here, combined with an Ar234 :

Ah, well, you'd probably need two fish kits anyway, one for each mer-leg.

[Weaver]

How does the saying go Ericr?

"I saw this, and I thought of you..."

[ericr]

what if sometimes you need your refueling real fast ?

would that be a KSR-71A?







the refueling stuff is from a KC-135

[JayBee]

That is a most hilarious idea, well done. 

[Tophe]

Yes, funny.
I hope this is water transfer into a (supersonic) water bomber, because transferring fuel between 2 huge flames would be rather dangerous

You know that moment in the Battle Of The Bulge film where the German general realises that they've lost the war because he sees that the Americans have so much logistic and production capacity that they can afford to ship Christmas Cake over to the ETO?

Well this is the Cold War equivalent: you know you've lost when the other guys can not only fly through your airspace unmolested at Mach 3.2, but can even refuel each other while they're doing it, just to take the piss...

[steelpillow]

Yes, and they even paint the tanker red so you cannot help seeing what you are unable to shoot down. 

Such a shame that the Machmeter reading on the first SR-71 to outrun a SAM is still classified! The guy only hauled back on the throttle because he was afraid his plane would melt.

[PR19_Kit]

Awesome idea ericr, and well carried out too.
