Sweet! I love this. It’s a floating tank that flies.
I’ve been completely out of the LEGO scene for months, and I’m playing catch up
now. This crimson skies stuff is awesome, but this is definitely my favourite of
them all so far.
I think that the gattling gun is what really does it for me. It reminds me of
the A-10 in a way, where the whole plane is built around a grotesquely huge gun.
Screw an engine, we all know that the big cylinder in the center is an ammo
drum.
I love how you made the cockpits, and two of them too!
The only thing I don’t care for are the geonosian prints on the bottom of the
pontoons, too bad LEGO doesn’t make that piece in plain.
Awesome work Jon!

When the United States collapsed it took much of the new highway system with
it. Pacific Northwest based Kenworth adapted to the change and abandoned
truck building for planes.
Along with Boeing Syndicate, Kenworth grew to be one of the main plane
builders for Pacifica. Its line of flying boats was utilized by the military
and pirates alike.

Along with Crimson Skies this MOC was heavily inspired by Porco Rosso and
Nausicaa. Big thanks to Tom Rafert for the Kenworth idea.
Tell me what you think!

| (...) Thanks dude! (...) I actually hesitated to put that on because at the time (1937 or so) there weren't really any guns like that used. It was sort of a dead period between the gatling guns of the post-civil war era and the vulcan miniguns of (...) (20 years ago, 17-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military, FTX)
