And yes, it DID fly ........

Now what about this bad boy..........

I think a few boxes of paper would be needed to model this beast, even at 1/48 scale!!

[Cybergrinder]

Wow. I don't think it would have been very effective as a bomber, it would have presented a massive and easy target for AA gunners

Ok, who's going to design it? RF?

 

[DanBKing]

Hahaha, yeah, I am sure R-F can do it.
He hasn't got much else to do anyway .......

 

[Revell-Fan]

I heard that!



Jesus, that plane is sick.

It looks like something from Sky Captain.

When I read "K-7" I first thought it was "K-7" just as in the "Tribbles' station".

And YES:

It could be done..!

 

[Cybergrinder]

Why not? It's just a load of boxes!

 

[DanBKing]

And YES:

It could be done..!

Sounds like R-F is up for the challenge then!!!

I love seeing things like this. People just don't seem to dream as big as they used to. Of course, a lot of those dreams didn't make sense, but they were fun to watch.

 

[Cybergrinder]

It's settled then. RF will design, build and compile a complete build thread for this monster.

I think a month should be enough time to get the job done?

Don't you just love military style volunteering RF?

 

[DanBKing]

military style volunteering ...

Lets put some 'tension' in his life then ........................... "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA - TENNNNNNNNN - SION !!!!!!!! "

Maximum speed of 121 kts! Get a breeze blowing and that thing would barely move. Looks like a gigantic modernized version of a WWI bomber. Great case of can be done, but why.

Of course, as a model subject, that would be an attention grabber.

 

[Revell-Fan]

Don't you just love military style volunteering RF?

No. You forgot the WHIP!

 

[Tonino]

And what if we say pleeeeeease? :shy:

 

[Revell-Fan]

The whip is stronger.

 

[Cforrest900]

That looks BEAUTIFUL! I think that with some slight modifications, it could make an AMAZING steampunk style aircraft...

 

[Revell-Fan]

I thought so, too!

 

[DanBKing]

I thought so, too!

Hee hee hee!!!..................
And here we begin ..............!

 

[Netizenzero]

I think I would be less worried about flying that thing, and more worried about landing it. It would make a really cool model though....

 

[Revell-Fan]

Well, EVERYTHING comes DOWN, one way or another..!

 

[Cybergrinder]

@Revell-Fan; Who wanted the whip?

Get started already!

@subnuke ; as to why attention grabber of course! I've always liked the more obscure and "weird" designs that came out (particularly in WW2) , like the Blom & Voss 141. Let's face it, anyone who collects WW2 planes has built/displays a Spitfire, Meserschmitt 109, etc. These planes really add some "wow" factor to your collection!

(Subtle motivation there, R-F )

 

[Revell-Fan]

Yeah baby, yeah!
