Here are some WiP pics of my latest project, another rocket plane for Pulp action.

Made from a 1/48 Curtis R3C racer, one Disney Rocketeer rocket pack from the 8" bend-em toy and some spatted wheels from a 1/48 AMT Lockheed Vega [horrible kit].

This will be the mount of that famous/infamous Aero Viking/Mercenary/Vigilante of the Sky, Lonestar!

Here are links to my prior pulp rocket plane.

Nice looking Kit bash, it looks like it came from a pulp universe.

Will it be painted in Raspberry*?

Cheers

Very cool and pulpy, reminds me a bit of the Duck Tales plane.

There is no way I'm flying in that if Launchpad McQuack's the pilot.

That's the Spirit of St. Awesome!

Thanks for all the kind words.
Here it is with a bit of greenstuff and the figure for Lonestar, the Cowboy of the Skys!

Lonestar is the famous Lobster Johnson fig with a hat from the Reaper Bones Shadow figure.
Now for some paint.

And with all these do gooders rocketing around, there needs to be a bad guy to fight [or Bad Girl

]

The Red Baroness and her infamous Flying Wing!

Its just the 1/48 testors Komet sans rudder to give it that wingish look.

Maybe add a pair of small rudders mid-wing, or on the wingtips? That'll help distinguish it further from the Komet and shouldn't be too difficult to do.

I kind of like the idea of winglets on the Komet, but I really, really like the Sky Cowboy's mount! Can't wait to see them painted.

Winglets?
Gents, thanks for the idea.

I like them. They really give a Pulp feel to the plane.

Papa Spanky · « **Reply #12 on:** January 19, 2014, 09:45:24 PM »

Yes much better!

Perfect!
