Douglas Baby-31 Redmast Air (finished page 3)

Superbly inspired

(Normality, anyway, is not much our interest)

[Tophe]

Thanks!

This was one of the very rare times I built a high wing plane (hiding the old fuselage/wing junction without too much work), and to make it stand (without fragile landing gears that I dislike), uh…
Under the wings are special devices, circular with beige colour of unknown matter, it is top secret (which is rare for a civilian aircraft)…

With the other part of the XB-31, the BB-31B is taking shape:

Painting the other side, the BB-31B is almost finished:

The BB-31B model is finished also now;

I will make more pictures tomorrow.

Very cool Tophe ! Love the look of the 31B !

[Tophe]

Thanks!
This is not twin-boom alas but a little asymmetric: the V-tail is made by one half-wing of XP-55 Ascender and one half-wing of XP-56 Black Bullet (that were in the same kit).

Very inventive as always : the vertical fins on top of the wings particularly

[Tophe]

Thanks again!

Today was a rainy day with dark clouds, almost no (day)light, I made a single picture with flash light:


And a mirror copy of course, to become a little twin-boom:

Here is the usual 4-angles view of mine, for the BB-31B:

From the 1/144th XB-31 plane I made two 1/48th planes, 1 twin-boom and 1 slightly asymmetric. It was fun.

[NARSES2]

I do like those Tophe 

[Tophe]

Thanks!

And Google showed me what I should have built if I weren't a what-ifer...

[PR19_Kit]

Yours are more innovative Tophe, but that's JUST what we'd expect from you anyway.
