Hello, Conky here posting the "What If Models" section. This section has a Group Build mentality but has no deadline. Here you can post all your What If models progress or finished model pics. A what if model is a model that you make to be unlike anything else like an Army Mini or a japanese sopwith pup ect...
Enjoy
Conky
I like the idea!
And I have a couple upcoming projects that would fit this category. Granted it will be a few months before I can post anything.
May not be a bad idea to post this in the group builds forum. Just a thought.

Hey
I might do an army Mini since I have an Airfix Mini Cooper S laying around some where.
Good Luck
I had already planned on a "Lizard camo" F-22.
But then you got me thinking.
What would a Navy F-15E look like that if it is apart of VF-84 or VF-103 Jolly Rogers?
I'm glad you posted this! This is going to be some fun!
Hey Just got done with the base and I hope I can get the camo on in about 30min or so.
Oh man this is going to be close! By the time I finish painting it'll be 8:40 and I do my painting stuff in my garage.
Worry Worry Supper Scury
Oops, never mind. It'll be done around 8:10
Well I said I was doing an army mini but it looks more like a safary mini. here are the pics.
There's a great page on Facebook called "Panzer 1946" that is dedicated to all kinds of theoretical mash-ups of tanks. Some of them get a bit ridiculous at times, but there's also some fabulous, thought-provoking work on it by some real masters.
Hey doog, did you do a section on the FSM magasine about using hair spray???
FSM did a feature a few years ago,I remember it had a Isreali A-10 and an Austrailian F-16.The possibilities are endless
How would you like to go on a Mini safary in a Mini Safary, here are the pics
It went together smoothly but the clear parts were hard to get out and I cracked the windows. But overall it was fun.
Conky, the Mini turn out sweet! Great job!
Looks pretty darn good to me Conky!

I'm thinking of doing a B-58 in D-Day colors......
Hey Viejo,
Just go for it and have fun!
When ever I look at a Mini Cooper S, I'm reminded of my favorite game Shox, thet was the car I would always use.
Many years ago I made the Monogram 1/48 scale B-58 Hustler. I painted it in the Vietnam era camouflage scheme. The USAF has never admitted that the B-58 was used in Vietnam. I painted my model this way based on the description i received from a USAF ground crew member who serviced the Hustler's in Vietnam. When he saw my model, he described it was a perfect replica of the ones he serviced.
Hey !
How that looks like a car finish that would look good even when dirty and wet ! Makes me want to paint my 1:1 scale Kia Sedona van like that ! .
Conky, sorry it took so long for me to answer; yes, I did a story on HairSpray with an old Chevy Nomad rustbucket. I want to say that I think it was in November 2008?
Yep, I remember seeing it and I probably have it some where unless I threw it out while cleaning my room.
How about a totally made up what if? Something I have always wondered is what if the X-Wing was upgraded and made even maneuverable in atmosphere by sweeping the wings forward? Keep everything else pretty much the same and keep the overall span about the same, but with the longer and more tapered wings. What do you think?

Yah, that sounds like a good one. What ifs doesn't just apply to paint but also to fictional machines and prototypes. So yes to the original question and have fun!!
What if models can be fun. I have far too many ideas racing around in my head right now to settle on any one subject.
I've had in mind a F-14 and F-106 in Japanese and Taiwanese markings. Course the Japanese Six would have to have the Six Shooter mod since the rule there is no nukes.
hogfanfs I like the idea! And I have a couple upcoming projects that would fit this category. Granted it will be a few months before I can post anything. May not be a bad idea to post this in the group builds forum. Just a thought.
i have 2 crazy ones in mind, one is just a paint job the other is a serious goof build which will be a lot of fun.

Hey guys sorry I haven't posted anything in a while due to school and stuff like that. I currently don't have any what ifs in the making but I will in the spring / summer.
