Anyone ever decide to make a totally fictional model?

Ok I didn't have a prop so I carved it out of Mahogany...  

Rudders and elevators installed.       

Hey Boss! Da Plane! Da Plane !!

Lol!

Constructed the engine pods and carved the props..   

A little inspirational music:

Webt with dark grey Tamiya primer...had to add paint to the color cup 3 times!   

Actually, the more I think about it, the more I'm of the mind to say most of my models are fictional; at least to some extent. Being a kitbasher, I think it's just the nature of the game.

As for the aircraft, it looks like a mix of two Dehaviland airframes, one a bomber and the other their pusher fighter .  .  . sort of!!

Yes it was a mishmash of features that I like!

Went with dark green.

Anyone ever decide to make a totally fictional model?

Sure.  Science fiction subjects, and models like Aurora's classic monster movie kits.

What-ifs are only partially fictional, I guess, if it involves a machine that existed, like a prototype, that we then finish as if it had been moved to production.

You've got a nice build going there, philo!

Thanks!2 jars of Tamiya X-5 green was barely enough.!

Raided my parts stash for radiators made the surround out of aluminum strip.  

Did not have the decals "so I will paint the roundrels..   

How big is this beast Philo? It's looking awsome by the way!

Thanks!Wingspan. 18 1/4"Length 17 1/4". I need to add the red dots and perform some touch up.  

Not perfect but not bad I will try to fine tune with touch up.

I have a question on this.

As I have followed this I have noticed something that Piqued my interest. Is she supposed to be a Sea-Plane? I was wondering because of the Bow shape ( Nose?)

Yes like a flying canoe!

Hey, I've got one of those!! It's called a wooden boat and everytime I spend money on it, it goes flying out the window!!

Isn't that the way?lol!

One of the kits I've been tinkering with is a mishmash of the Dragon MBT70 turret on the hull of an Esci M60A1. The tank never made it past a dozen prototypes due to too many problems with the turret and counter revolving driver's compartment, among other new technology problems.

So I am removing the driver compartment from the turret and keeping it in the same spot as the traditional M60 series tanks.

I plan on calling it an MBT60 along with some other modifications to the turret.

Started the rigging. Fine fishing line.

Seven! Wow, you are a glutton for punishment! Have you heard this one TB? B.O.A.T. - Bring On Another Thousand.....

I used a 0.025 guitar string for the box kite bracing... 

This is nice work, Phil.

As I recall, this aircraft was the A.V. E. Rage company's long distance maritime search aircraft prototype. But as it had no capability of floating, became an important behind the lines resupply aircraft for morning beverage of the Arab Troops- the A.V.E.Rage "Joe".

When the Ottoman Army attempted to retake Aqaba on the Red Sea, three 'Joes" were scrambled from Amman with war loads and sent south.

Unfortunately all three had misplaced propellers causing them to diverge from course.

Joe 1 flew south west into Sinai and landed at Folger in Egypt.

Joe 2 flew south east into Saudi Arabia and landed at Sanka.

Joe 3 had all three props put on backwards and flew north and was never seen again.
