Whats the weirdest kit in your stash?

Damn, I missed that post by Real G. That lerche is defiantly one to add to the list. Is that a resin kit or plastic.

And did I miss something. When did Dean become Anonymous.

Just thought I would give this thread a kick in the pants. Lots of interesting stuff in here.

Nice german stuff Real G! Never ever saw the Zock before...............interesting!

dean27: Haven't seen the headless horseman either! Must be nice to have the LHS's so close. Man I wished Corpus just had ONE! San Antonio is within 2 hours and it has a couple of decent ones though.

I have none but I am tempted to go and get something off the wall literally HA! But  I did see a model of the headless horseman from Sleepy Hollow in one of my local hobby shops, and when I say one of, there's 3 in Belfast within 5 minutes walking distance of each other, when considering the internet is a good thing. I might get that kit as it's really weird.

I've got strange models up the Yin-Yang:

The DeSchelde S-21 was a wacky looking fighter prototype that actually got into the air,  What were the Dutch thinking, sticking a huge glasshouse canopy on a fighter?  And what's with the machine guns sticking through the lower canopy glass?  That's an accident waiting to happen.

The Heinkel Lerche II was another "Luftwaffe 1946" proposal for a VTOL point defence interceptor.  A pair of reciprocating engines pretty much fills the fuselage - I wonder where the fuel would go?  It is interesting that such an improbable concept became reality with the Convair Pogo and Lockheed Salmon.

"Kriegsmarine 1946"  The Manta was a proposal for a submarine that could become a planing surface attack craft.  The flat top contained four torpedo tubes.  As nutty as this thing looks, I think it could have worked.  I can also see Bronco coming out with a 1/35 kit.  Please? 

The Zock is the most stupid looking mobile suit in my collection.  Looking like some unholy union between a coffee pot and parrot, I nevertheless find the design fascinating.  It has the distinction of being one of the few designs that are symmetrical front to back.  Bandai must have saved a bunch of money designing this kit, as they only had to engineer half a kit and just throw in two sets of sprues!

Lindberg POGO. I'll build it one day

The weirdest kit in my stash is the old Aurora 'Cornelius' figure from the original Planet of the Apes movie...  I've been trying to paint it (unsuccessfully) for going on 5 or 6 years now.

Duke Maddog: I've gotta say.............I've definetely never seen that one before with the bikes..........

I think you're fine, Maddog. Funny thing-I've been trying to find a good kit of a stagecoach or covered wagon lately. Had a strange urge to model something out of the American West.  Interesting you should post these up now.

I don't remember whether I ever posted here either, but currently, the 'weirdest' model kits I currently have in my stash are the following. Not all are aircraft:

If I wasn't supposed to post those, then I understand if a moderator decides to remove them.

Maybe this Thread could be in a more general Forum.

Nice! I don't believe I've ever seen this one before!!

Not a new member, and don't remember if I posted to this thread or not. BUT, here's another one just in case. Kamov KA-26 light utility helicopter. Odd, I thought, due to the large engine pods on either side.

I started this thread after a month or so of joining the forum. There are enough new members here to get some additional input and conversation started. So if youre new check out the posts and add your own to the list and if you not new feel free to check em out again and possibly add some more to the list. Have fun, Joe

Ninetalis:

 

Thanks Borg! Didn't know that, But I don't think I'll find that one anymore...

Hans, I can't really agree, Grumman GB? Bf109 GB? B-17 GB?
All have badges and start and end date,
I could agree when you mean Manstein's GB's, these are build alongs yes, but even they have badges and end dates, but they are less... visible

Vance, If you are interested, I have made this during my boredomness...


Could edit the date, size or anything else you'd want...

With regards, Ninetalis.

 

 

Nicely done - and saves me setting one up!

Alright, that's it, I'll throw the feeler up there right now so we can get it set up.

Chuckle........Sorry 'bout that..........

Probably more appropriate to envision Manny in a Bierkellar these days.

Gawd, just got a mental image of 'im goose-steppin'...

Hans von Hammer

 

Can't count Manny's stuff... He's always marched out of step and to his own drummer...

chuckle.....

While Manny is probably too old for the Prussian parade march.............

his drummer does use cavalry kettle drums.......................

Tiny's B-17 GB doesn't have a badge or dates, niether does the B-25 I started (although I think someone wanted to make one.. I dunno if they did or not) ..  

I do agree about the Gruman and Bf109s being in the worng forum, but oh well...

Wow Ninetalis!! I think that's the classiest looking GB badge I've seen in a while. Well done!

Ninetalis:

Please, put it in the GB forum, I hate it when it is posted in the aircraft forum...

Most of those posted in here are not "Group Builds" in the classic sense, but rather "Build-alongs", with no official start-end dates, no building parameters,  and no "badges"... 

 

 

End dates etc can be fairly slack - from what I've seen it's a pretty liberal bunch here.

It's the fumes, man...................

You also had a Belgian brand of planes, called 'Stampe & Vertongen'
Some of these were build in france to.
A pitty nobody builds em in 1/48...


Maybe I'll scratchbuild of these someday...
I also had the honour of fying with somebody FOR FREE in his S&V.4 at the Stampe & Vertongen Airshow last month to!

With regards, Ninetalis.

There is a resin Stampe kit:

I can't seem to find the French GB Feeler anywhere, or has it even been posted?

Sorry about that... The idea came up in the Sweedish (Saab) GB as a possible follow up when that one gets finished. For some reason I could have sworn you were in that GB with us. Ooops.

Ninetalis: You are so lucky! I've never flown in my life! Awesome in an old warbird!

VanceCrozier: Maybe you should start the feeler for the GB first, to gauge overall interest, I'll jump in regardless, start it now if you want, even if your other GB schedules are packed, set the date 'till when you think you can start construction, seems like me and Ninetalis are ready to build soon, anyway, it is summer break, so lots of chances to build something!
