There was a German HE 111 that was two aircraft put together and it was intended to tow the huge glider. I do not recall the designation at the moment or who did a 1/72 scale model of it.

HE111Z (Zwilling - twin) - Hasegawa and Italeri have both offered this in 1/72. I don't know if they are different kits or the same kit in different boxes.

If I remember correctly Airfix did a 1/72 scale BV141 back in the 60s or 70s.

Not so much weird, but premature. Italeri's RF-18A Photo Hornet. Never entered service, only a few prototypes built.

if "weird" means a rare kit of subject then mine are probably the silver cloud MB5 's ; I've built the falcon vacform and, frankly, it was a lot less work than these will be...ebay beckons!- and a truly ghastly vacform Ju390.  another rarity I've started but may never finish is the heritage models Ju388; it's awful. lastly, if "weird" stretches to "what was I thinking of?", then I have an academy tomcat.....I don't do modern stuff, you see....

I'll revive an old thread I started in 2012 when I first got on with FSM. I always thought this thread was alot of fun as I've seen some really oddball kits out there.

Does this kit qualify-even though it is not of an aircraft?

Damn, i seem to have missed these posts back then. But seeing as Phil is still an active member, better late than never.

They are definatly differant kits. Both nice, and while the Hase is better, i would not say its the extra bucks better.

However, we could start a thread and discuss it

I'd like another one...or two...but in a more glue friendly plastic.

Unfortunately, the motors of the two I built while the kit was in production failed rather quickly and the plastic was not condusive to re-use as a Gobblin style what if.

I'm currenlty building the glow in the Dark Bigfoot kit...

Ah, my favorite model subject!  I also like zombie shows.   Weirdness is definitely a qualification that enters my buying choices.  Like so:

I don't have a photo of the Doozie vending machine (I have the Coke one), but here's a link:

It's an unusual subject and consists of only ONE resin part!  Plus waterslide decals.  A nice, fun model actually.  It does beg for a figure or two, a service station, some cars...

If I were a kid today, I'd be diagnosed with A.D.D.

Actually if you're going to dig up a zombie thread this is a pretty cool one...

A few items I've added since the thread was first posted:

And that's just a taste of the crazy... I'll see what else I can find this weekend...

So, Gamera, not that I myself am into these things, but I might have some, err, friends, who might be.  Where'd you get this?  lol.

From a strictly model-building perspective, one of the weirdest kits in my stash now (actually I bought 2), is Academy's 1/72 T-50 Golden Eagle.  Its meant to be a table top display/toy since its snap-together, has only a few parts and no landing gear. Its weird in that the surface detail of the kit is absolutely gorgeous; recessed panel lines and rivets! Im definitely going to upgrade it.

Lol Allan, not sure I'd say I was 'into' such things but I find that the Japanese make such a thing hilarious and had to have them. I've only seen them on HobbyLink Japan where was looking for some Japanese soldier figures and came across them (HONEST!!!) 

LINK

At the same time I was looking for a good book on Japanese army uniforms and found about two- and five or so on schoolgirl uniforms...

Yeah, of course, I never said you were into it. Im not into it as well, I just, like you, find them, well, hilarious. lol.

So, books about Japanese schoolgirl uniforms, huh?  lol.

My weirdest isn't so much a kit but a conversion.  I have a resin wing for a 1/48 He111Z to go with two Revellogram He111 kits.  I built this year's ago but was damaged beyond repair when one of my cats knocked it off the shelf.  Was able to save the center wing and miscellaneous little parts. Will one day build this again. This is pictured with a 1/48 Bf109

Nope, my 'thing' is more for Korean Cowgirls...

TJ: You just saved the resin mid-wing section and not the rest?

Real G: I'm going to end up with one of those Haunebu kits. It was the reason for my avatar change a couple of weeks back. Very interesting right along with that Skoda....

Gamera: Now those are some wild kits!!!!

So far as far as I'm concerned, this has to be the wildest one yet right here fellas.....

I'm just trying to figure out just where the hell I'd put a crazy  build like this among my display items....

This.............

would be one of the coolest additions to any model display area. A 1/48 scale He-111Z. Where did you come up with that at?
