Does spotted stug counts as esoteric?

That's a different paint job, never saw that one before.

Looks like it's got Leopard's disease.

sorry, had to do that.

Wow, all those are really cool. Please keep 'em coming.

LOL , not quite unexpected

Cool stuff there Ikar. 

I am loving this thread - always trying to supplement my 'normal' plane kits with something a bit different. So many different things out there I want to try...

Ikar some super stuff there - even the owl from Jason and the Argonauts!

Don, you have made the Bell XFM 1 great as a kit, even if it wasn't as a plane. And a vacform too - I have completed one, 4 more in the stash...

Gamera, the Dark Shark looks very smooth

Real G, the scratch helicopter was worth the wait (for me, if not for you)

Some of mine:

Glencoe's 1/32 McDonnell XV-1:

Airfix 1/72 Fairey Rotodyne with RooDecal's TAA decals for a DC-6:

Airfix Angel Interceptor from Captain Scarlet - dressed up as a RAAF Boomerang...

And my only completed vacform, Air Craft Model's 1/144 Sikorsky S-40:

And Bandai's Gunship from Nausicaa and the Valley of the Winds (A Ghibli anime movie)

(I thought I should finally do something different from planes...)

And a 1/72 manga Rafaele from Hasegawa (300 plus decals done for Weekend Madness GB)

Keep up the good work, keep them coming!

How about a German Leopard in winter camo.

Again, great stuff guys! Hope this thread keeps chugging along.

Vickers Wellesley Mk1, a late 1930s long range RAF bomber. Built from the Matchbox kit.

Inspired by this thread, I have pulled out an old resin kit from my stash and have just got started.  It is a 1/48 Heinkel Lerche kit by Pend Oreille - a really wierd vertical take-off concept aircraft in the Luftwaffe '46 genre.  You can see images and even fantacy videos of this craft by googling Heinkel Lerche and there is even a build review by an Allan Wanta.  It will take me 2 or 3 weeks to get the build completed, when I will post an image of my efforts.

Resin conversion for the old MPC TIE Interceptor kit from the 1983 movie Return of the Jedi. The conversion was made by Fourth Axis and consists of 14 resin pieces. Seven pieces from a TIE Interceptor kit are required as well as some minor modifications to the main body of the vehicle. It also works with any of the later reissued TIE Interceptor kits by AMT/Ertl. The TIE Crawler is part of the expanded Star Wars universe.

This thread is one of my favorites! Great stuff in here

This is Italeri's 1/35 Maiale human torpedo, a seemingly suicidal weapon that was actually (successfully) used operationally during WW II.  The poor two-man team had to sneak into an enemy harbor at night, get below a ship, detach the nose warhead, string it up between the bilge keels, set the timer, then attempt to sneak away undetected before the warhead went off.  The kit was fun to build despite some poor fit around the propeller guard.  I am constantly amazed at what turns up as a mainstream plastic kit nowadays.  Mario and Luigi figures are still in the box, awaiting some detailing work.

Another Italian oddity is Atellier Noix's 1/48 Piaggio Pegna PC-7, which was a radical Schneider Cup design that unfortunately never made it off the water.  The aircraft was equipped with a boat-type propeller to get up to speed for the hydroplanes to lift the fuselage clear of the water, at which point the airscrew was to be engaged for take-off.  At rest, the aircraft sat low in the water with the wings awash.  The kit is composed of resin main parts with white metal bits like the airscrew, hydroplanes, and water rudder.  The hydroplanes required a lot of clean up and fettling to fit properly.  The pilot figure came with the kit and does an excellent job of concealing the empty cockpit.  A full set of decals provided the flush radiator panels on the wings and forward fuselage.

Wow, those are all terrific guys!!! 

If I had to single anything out it would be that cool PC-7 Real G, what a neat design and cool idea. 

THe ICM 1/72 TB-3 is really out there and one the strangest,most difficult builds I have undertaken.   

Oh yeah, I forgot about this one. The Musashi wreck dio.

I built that Maiale, G. It's a great kit and the thing goes well with the Italeri Italian MTB.

Here's a few more:
