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!

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!
