Woodsy,
Here is the latest model off the work bench - the Convair XFY Pogo.

In an ongoing effort to solve the problem of long runways for aircraft take-off, Convair made a prototype of a Vertical Take-Off craft in 1954, the XFY Pogo, which was marginally successful, but the U.S. military decided to cancel the project.
Lindberg Models made a lovely 1/48 scale model of the Pogo in 1958, and Atlantis Models reissued this iconic kit in 2025.
A very “Sci-Fi” design, and fun to build. Gotta love those twin propellers!

Another beautiful model, from the Master of Perfect Paint Jobs. A wonderful looking aircraft, it would be right at home in any 1950s science fiction movie.
ReplyDeleteQuality modelling and painting Rob.
