Pulp Rocket Plane #2 WIP -Red Baroness Done 7/16
« on: 10 January 2014, 11:06:08 PM »
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*?  ;D

Cheers
Matt

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.

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.

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