They are incredible Pulp inspiration and a while lot of fun!

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.
