SPA Modeler

And here are some - hopefully appetizer - for u concerning my current What-if project:

Northrop B-35 Manta Ray "The Pursuit Of Happiness" fighting in Korean War

It is the finished cockpit and the nose-art girl, which I drew by myself. It is to be self-printed as decal.

These are most interesting and very, very well done!


I also like looking at 'What-if's when done by others, I don't do them in aircraft myself. Strangely enough, I've only done one 'what-if' and it was a ship. I modified and modernized an old Tirpitz battleship; even adding a helicopter deck with an SH-3 Sea King on the back! I only have one other idea for a maritime 'what-if': the German aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin done up as a Soviet carrier with an angle deck, Soviet carrier-style bridge and Yak 36's on board. Maybe someday....

Not only a good modeller, Bolleken seems also to be a gifted artist!

That he is indeed.

I am getting red. Thank you so much!

Very nice work.
Great to see all the Whif stuff going on.
I guess i should post my last Whif?



RNZAF Mig-21. Done in the Harvard trainer paint scheme. I think it would have been more accurate/effective if id done it on a 2 seat trainer variant. Maybe next time.
This kit was done maybe 5 years ago? Before i even owned an air brush.

That 152 would fit right in the unlimited class at Reno

And probably win in its' class too by the looks of the bird...

As a scifi builder (in most cases) I followed this with great interest. these are very inspiring, especially the racer plane!

Great talent, great presentation.
