Hi all,
I’ve been seeing all these awesome P-38 based creations and decided to try one
myself, so here’s mine. It’s part of a set of ships I’m working on using this
engine style.
The ship is supposed to be capable of space and atmo flight, though I didn’t
have the parts for control surfaces. It’s got probably the most SNOT
construction I’ve ever used (the tails are sideways, as are the engines). It’s
not entirely finished, as I still need landing gear and weapons racks. There’s
also the problem of the wing droop, which I resolved right after taking the
pics, thanks to Douglas Clark’s “Dragonfly” and his mention of rubber bands. I
haven’t figured how to integrate them though, so I didn’t bother taking new
pics.
The rest of the pics are here, post-mod:

The engines specifically look very cool; a convincing use of the brown droid (...) (20 years ago, 29-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
