Snappy it is a great kit....I have one of these and the KA-1 as well. Don't forget to get a Pitcairn gyro as well and the FA330 model is VERY nice, I have one that is going to be made standard and another that I am going to add a front amoured section to.

Wow! Fantastic!

As long as you're not cannibalizing one of your own models where you planned to use the engines, I'm happy to accept.

PM sent.

No worries, no hurry!

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

If only I could scratch-build.......

[FramFramson]

It looks like you could make that by converting a Fiat CR32 model.

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

FramFramson,

As always, you are spot on.....

[Michi]

Wow, canvas, wood and rocket engines are a really cool mixture... 

Well, the Messerschmitt Me163 was actually built to that recipe!

[Peter@BattleScape]

Hmm I think I have a CR32 laying around....think I shall give it a bash.

I love that not only is it a rocket-powered biplane, but that it's being chased by a pterodactyl.

If only I could scratch-build.......

You can do it!

BTW, that pic was a major inspiration for my rocket planes;

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....

Rickenbacker Airfield, Shaing Kong, August 6, 1937
Warhawk takes New Rocket Plane to Shaing Kong!
by Lois Lane

     It seems the sky over troubled China is about to get a lot more pleasant thanks to the newest visitor from the States. It seems that Warhawk, the renowned  daredevil pilot of fortune has taken his newest mount across the Pacific to help sort out the pirate problems there. The first I knew of Warhawk's relocation came as I stared out of my window aboard the weekly Clipper to Shaing Kong and noticed that we had an escort off the starboard wing.

     Upon landing at the seaplane dock, I headed on over to Rickenbacker field where he must have landed. Sure enough, there he was and as ever, he was reluctant to talk to the press. But I did find out that his new Rocket Plane, the XP-289, is the latest collaboration between Hughes and Peevs. Keep your eyes peeled to the sky to see what Warhawk can do vs the Pirates!


Here are a few simple shots.

Thanks for looking.

Don't you mean the top secret ME162 from 1937?

Amalric, what did you use as the basis for the plane in your first photo?

Amalric, what did you use as the basis for the plane in your first photo?

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