Tony...and Geoff, Thanks for the response...Tony's design says it all. Built up (wheras most were carved previously) is the way to go here, and the nose sculpting behind the spinner is out of the park!
Geoff's idea of laminar flow on engine side is interesting, both lend 'depth' to an otherwise 'mere profile'.
Just what I was looking for.
There are quite a few great 'imposters' in this post, many I hadn't even imagined. (way beyond Mustang, T-Bolt, Hellcat, etc.)
All in all, a great 'platform': when I bought my first one, I thought of a Agwagon. Did mine up that way, (Piper Pawnee) flew it some, traded it for another Twister kit. Noted there was a beauty done up that way earlier in this thread.
Local contests (Bay Area) used to bring out lots of 'kit bashes' into interesting profiles, with clever paint schemes, landing gear, hardware, and detail...Most ran in 'Air Race', (WAM) them morphed into Foxberg, which stifled the creative juices...Shoestrings, Cosmic Winds and Busters dominated what was previously a 'design free-for-all!
My 'Sport Flier' colors showing, I'll just tout everyone on here with 'Twister mods' that have re-juvenited my 'creative juices.
Thanks to one and all...Beauties here, from fertile minds.
