1/72 Anti-grav Assault Ekranoplan

[billn53]

Just a quick side-project while waiting on parts for a big aircraft project I recently started (Trumpeter's 1/32 F-105D Thunderchief).

 

 

 

A typical short-run kit -- Fit varied from fair to terrible! Definitely not for the faint of heart, and not my best work by a long shot 🤣

 

Here are the pics:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In case you're wondering the cannon are leftovers from my Razor Crest build (for which I used Green Strawberry's resin replacements). I felt the AMP kit had something missing, and these seemed to fill the void nicely. You can see my Razor Crest here:

 

 

Thanks for looking!

I've seen the box top before but never the model. What a beast! Both in looks and, I imagine, a beast to operate.

Those cannon probably wouldn't help the handling, and could well stop it in it's tracks. Yet as a whiff, it looks great.

It has more than a hint of maschinen kreiger about it.

Not if the ‘cannon’ are directed energy weapons! ⚡️

Brilliant! I love it. How did you make it fly, magic?

It uses an Infinite Improbability Drive.

I love it!  Seems very steampunk-ish.
