Superfortress imagine
buzzing the neighbor with this thing...

 

[Mallow]

pretty neat indeed. I wonder how much it cost to build.

 

[TheNewbie]

nice

 

[Jodell88]

cool.

Cool anyway.

 

[Babbles]

That's a lot of modeling glue.

 

[Analog]

awesome

 

[ISAslot]

I'd so put my cat in it.

 

[sao123]

sweet.

 

[Spooner]

what's it made out of?

 

[imported_Truenofan]

it would be pretty cool if you could fit someone in the bomb bay, and give them a ride....probably require larger engines and a stronger wing structure though.(i like the cat idea though)

I wanna see it do a bomb run... drop something...

I saw a model ship a while back... it wasn't quite 1/5 scale, but it looked pretty big though...where the guns shot BBs.

IIRC there was a group of them that made these models and then had battles on a local lake.

Its a lot slower than a Predator drone, but it would probably be more intimidating (especially if it was armed!)

Got to love the fully retracting landing gear...

if you could put mini nukes in this thing, sure... but pretty sure hellfire missiles are very intimidating.
but yes, I support the idea of bomb-doors and dropping something out of there. a cool, just for effect type thing could be to drop snap-its out of it while it's buzzing a street or something, then they could all hit the ground and proceed to pop and snap. would have the effect considering the scale.

iirc one of these, maybe this one, flew at Oshkosh. they dropped several parachute-retarded bombs.

I'm thinking rigging up a paintball gun that can be fired remotely and a remote camera view. Think of the fun you can have straffing spectators.

 

[randay]

beautiful, just beautiful.

 

[OutHouse]

Airbus jet. this one is pretty big too.

 

[JackBurton]

Cool.
