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.
Do you like What-if?

Re: Do you like What-if?
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!

Re: Do you like What-if?
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.

You can learn all the math in the 'Verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Re: Do you like What-if?
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.
