The subjects (especially the 1910s aircraft) reminded me of the work of Gabriel Stern - I think congrats are in order! 👍 👍

Thank you S M - this is pure fun, indeed. I have more projects in mind, but there is not enough time...as always.

What nightmare gave you the idea for the "Helicopter Starfighter" 😄
Great work, very creative 👍

@Alexander: As far as I know it was the concept of test pilot Pete Girard adapted to F-104. Here are further infos:

Thanks, WhiteGlint 🙂 I wonder if anybody ever tried to build a flyable proof-of-concept scale model...

Fabulous work (and scratch skills) Robert! 👌 I'm with WhiteGlint, love the Starfighter... Though a Starfighter airframe as a helicopter!?... Said in the same tone as "you built a time machine out of a Delorean!?"... Crazy! 😜 Followed the first link, most interesting 👍

Robert, that's a great collection. 👍
My farorit is also an F-104 helicopter. The idea is so futuristic that it is surpassed only by the French SNECMA Coleoptere 🙂

The "VTOL" Starfighter is my favorite. Nice collection of skills, and planes!

Thanks, Mates! You're very kind. What do you think about this, Ludviku:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SNECMA_Atar_Volant
sitting in the inlet of the vertically positionet jet engine seems an "adventurous" idea... 😉

Robert, it seems that SNECMA engineers went to school with Jules Verne. 😄
