Decided to make a start on a project I’ve had for a while.
A 1940’s pod racer.
I recently picked up an old Heller P38 Lightening kit, which was just what i was after for this Pod racer project.
Its been a really fun day, planning, chopping and creating the pod plus the front part.
Ive used a cocktail stick up the inside of the wings to stiffen the joint and plan to use an old guitar string for the tethers.
The hard part is sussing out a build order
This is a pretty cool idea. The plane lends itself well to this idea. I’d really like to see some part of the engines exposed, but that’s just me. Can’t wait to see where this leads.
Cheers Frozin,
I spent some time looking for a plane that would suit the concept, and the P38 is pretty unique.
Re, the engine comments, you’re right it would be good to have detail like that on show, but being an old kit and 72 scale there isn’t much detail to be seen, that said I’ll see if I can improvise
