Buy; One Boeing airliner:
Now make it a short as you can without omitting the wing thingys.Add feathers to the wings and remove the engines. Also add bird’s feet and legs. Viola" A Fun Boidy model! P.S. Whatever you do, Don’t! use a B-52-They turn mean when done!
I have an idea I want to try- not as funny as a bird, but fun anyway.
I got the idea from the many turboprop conversions I have seen- but no jet versions! The idea is to take a DC-3 kit and a DC-9 kit, and mount the -9 nacelles over the wings to make a jet version.
Don,Hi!
I did that many times as a kid when I just had a bunch of broken parts. I did one that way - a DC-3 with fat tires and two pods from a B-52, looked neat-I thought.
When I was 17 or so, I decided that the wings of my completed Revell B-25 Mitchell bomber were too long. It would look better, I decided, if I cut about two inches off each wing. It looked not just better, but faster, and definitely cooler! It was sort of an early, non-jet version of the stubby-winged F-104 Starfighter.

When I first got back to the states and moved here, everyonce in a while I would see a DC-3 fuselage with the wings and tail removed and turned into a motor home. The rear had been cut back and they put a small platform with a couple chairs and a rack for a couple spare tires outside the railing. I haven’t seen it in a long time, but it was a sight to see. I’ve been thinking about doing a model of it ever since but never got around to it.
Wow, don’t remember that. I’ll have to look for that again.
