What is this about ?
Explanation for Non-what-if-modellers - (Aircraft) modellism principle : as very few people are rich enough to build personal actual airplanes, it is more commonly enjoyable to simply build at reduced scale (in plastic or resin or wood) replicas of what they are (or were), as aesthetical (or full of history) as the Real ones. This is Realist modellism.
- Objection : far from love towards History, some fun in modellism comes from do-it-yourself quiet activity, with pleasant « aerodynamic » objects as results. So there is no need to copy what is in airfields or museums : a further pleasure may come from creation, invention.
- What-if modellism (unrealistic modellism) step 1 : "What-if France bought F-16 instead of Mirage? What if the B-36 was a water bomber ?" - it may be pleasant, funny, to change the colours, to be better (in efficiency or aesthetics for instance) or to be voluntarily absurd (or pacifist).
- What-if modellism step 2 : it may be pleasant to build un-built machines, cancelled before completion or rejected before any order.
- What-if modellism step 3 : it may be pleasant to build personally-modified famous aircraft, playing as a joke the role of designer/improver or fan inventing possible new versions (for instance : uncommon from classical or unarmed from highly gunned).
- What-if modellism step 4 : it may be pleasant to invent completely craft that do not exist at all, using for source either raw materials or existing kits made for realists.
- What-if modellism step 5 : it may be pleasant to turn airplane reproductions into non-flying objects, just for aesthetics or absurdity.
- Personal way : I was a dreamy free what-ifer, step 1, when I started modellism as a child, then I turned realist as a teenager, thinking this was required by responsibility and respect. I stopped modelism after a nervous breakdown, aged 15. I came back to modellism in a self-cure process, aged 20 to 35, balancing between full dream and material world. I prefered then the unrealistic way, steps 1-3-5, then step 2 – with the help of new model kit companies like Unicraft (greatly enriching the source of beautiful available models). Aged 35, I fell down far deeper and after 2 years in hospital, I came back in the World. Igor of Unicraft made me discover the word « what-if » about fake aircraft pictures as virtual models, this way being not a heresy related to mental illness but an unusual (and not famous) way of joking. I played creating such what-if (step 3) virtual computer models/drawings, while enjoying on the Web what-if modellers’ creations (mostly Canadian), recently discovered. In 2005, a Belgian friend offered me a kit to build and I did it, going back to modellism, fully what-if, step 1-2-3-5 (then even step 4).
- Unicraft for realists : what-ifers are a tiny minority among modellers, and most modellers may appreciate kits for their looking like Real machines (or Real industrial projects). I do not pretend at all my way is better than another, this is a pathologic way maybe, and I take everyday psychiatric pills (for other reasons). I am just here saying thanks to Igor. My models are imperfectly built and painted, and I am very bad for handling thermoformed transparent canopies (I prefer painting them black, as an eye for the bird-aircraft of mine – unable to fly as they are just esthetical decorative objects for me, not flying things at all). To see what can be done realistically with Unicraft kits, a great Photo gallery is featured on Unicraft Web site.
Introduction for What-if-modellers - I do not mean Unicraft models are the very best in the World. Many of us may prefer other suppliers, having pleasant subjects too. Unicraft kits have just a special sympathy in my heart because their manufacturer Igor was so nice in 1998 when I was dying, he sent free rare data about unknown aircraft old projects. I wish his company to live long, and I swear I do not require (and I would refuse) money or discount or free model for this kind of advertisement I am making.
- I am a rather bad modeller, having very imperfect skills, and my models are not credible aircraft (with wheels, cockpits, weight balance, engines). I know, but what-ifers scorned by Realists (“Joyless Modelling Nazis”) should know that it may be pleasant to have simply personal fun, even while being insulted and criticized by other people. Adult JMNs are even insulted themselves as having a childish (stupid? guilty?) hobby, but is it worse than crushing sportive opponents or killing hunted animals? I don’t think so, this is not important, this is simply one way (among others) for self providing a smile in this cruel world…
- During many years (1980-2004, aged 16-40) I was almost never finishing a model, never satisfied enough to call it completed. All changed when I decided to paint in black the clear canopies (thanks tsrJoe friend for this good direction), that could receive putty and sanding then for modified shapes, almost clean. And recently since about 2013, I changed my way to paint wind screens: not 2 frames with a clear center for the pilot to see, but a middle frame separating 2 black eyes, of a bird or other cartoon animal, for fun, smile.

Creations from Unicraft models
(A01) Bayern Munich Football TL-\I\ (from BMW TL-III), 2005, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,4893.30.html

I liked this uncommon twin-boomer with no link between booms, I simply turned it canard (exchanging front side and rear side) and asymmetric (with both fins in the same oblique direction). To make it easily, I did not turn the wing opposite so this cannot fly (sharp wing leading edge and big trailing edge), but so this "fighter" (of the evil nazi side) cannot fly, fight, harm anyone. I discarded guns, being a naive pacifist rather than a warfare lover. I discarded the undercarriage and wheels: this is more solid for transportation and dust removal…
(A02) XT-2A MEUNEER (from PIONEER RQ-2A), 2005

I turned the high wing (and medium tailplane) into a low wing (and low tailplane) to get balance not requiring wheels, and leaving room for a “cockpit”/big-eye providing personality (turning this 1/72 unmanned model into something as a 1/144 manned model). I discarded the propeller: this would be a (short-span) glider rather than a propelled machine - or an aerodynamic object rather than a flying craft.
(A03) KIT-11 (from 2 copies of YURIEV KIT-1), 2005, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,7843.0.html

Discarding any propeller, I made a canard twin-glider from this double-propeller tail-sitter aircraft. I discarded tail-wheels, the model standing properly by itself.


(A04) PROTWINUS (from SCALED PROTEUS), 2005, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,7217.0.html

To reduce span and length of the huge Proteus, I turned the large wing into biplane wings, and the foreplane into a tailplane, with fuselage truncating. I discarded jet engines: no need (to fly). And to make a pleasant family with the Kit-11, I turned it as tail-sitter.
(A05) G-38P (from GROKHOVSKY G-38), 2006, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,8002.0.html

I love twin-boom aircraft but I have not enough room on my shelves for aircraft span. So, after turning an Airfix Lockheed P-38 into something as a pedal-boat catamaran (without engines, external wings, tailplane, undercarriage), I treated similarly a G-38 to get a nice family.

(A06) SPACE-BOOM 2 & KNIGHT-BOOM 2 (from SCALED SPACE-SHIP 1 & WHITE-KNIGHT), 2008, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,20934.0.html

Still lacking room for span, I made very-short-span derivatives of these planes. I mixed their parts freely to create 2 completely new aircraft, as different as possible from the original ones, and I replaced the tiny windows of the 1/72 models by panoramic 1/48 canopies. The remaining parts made a Twin-Knight 2, 1/72 or 1/144 due to narrow "fuselages".
(A07) ACA.5Z Double-Little-Thing (from 2 copies of NIEUPORT ACA.5), 2009, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,23813.0.html

A weird little plane, doubled into an improbable half-canard asymmetric twin-plane (or object - with no propeller, gun, wheel, roundel, flight-balance).
(A08) ME-262 HG.V HEAVY GLIDER (from Me-262 HG.IV HOHE GESCHWINDIGKEIT), 2009, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,24478.0.html

Without Me-262 to modify, this conversion kit has been turned into a biplane tail-less glider (with external wings of Borovkov-Florov and Grokhovsky). Clean nose without guns (replaced by putty), and of course painted civilian, swastika-less.
(A09) BOROVKOF-TOF (from BOROVKOV-FLOROV D), 2009, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,24478.0.html

With external wings removed, the rear fins have been turned as canard foreplanes (booms turned 180° on vertical axis, 90° on longitudinal axis). The tailplane is no more high but low, and there is no engine at all. Nor guns nor military colours (this is a short-span civilian glider).
(A10) AS-31C Canard Pusher (from AIRSPEED AS.31), 2009, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,25884.0.html

The AS.31 source, weird twin-boomer with a pilot-less nose/fuselage and a rear/remote cockpit/pod, was perhaps not odd enough... To improve visibility, it has been turned opposite, into a canard pusher (AS-31C). The propeller has now 2 blades only, to land safely with this device locked horizontally (there is no ground clearance, and the departure comes in flight from a mother-plane). The wing has a reduced span to have the right dimension for elevators (the most secret bases are underground). There is a little asymmetry as there is only one main wheel, on starboard (one wheel is enough to reduce weight - and there is a skid under the nose pod)...
(A11) Forked Ghostbuster (from MARTIN-BAKER TANKBUSTER), 2009, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,26401.0.html

This flying gun has been transformed into a civilian glider, biplane to reduce span, and with spats becoming interplane struts (without tyres but some secret devices to produce lift or to chase away ghosts). The booms and fins are strongly asymmetrical, as the pod and spats, even the upper wing angle (not horizontal) – this way, the ghosts will fail into eating it classically.
(A12) Co-141 Asymer (from COLANI C-309 RACER), 2009, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,26562.0.html

This model has been turned 90° to become asymmetric, with a single half-wing. This is not exactly a 1/144 glider built from a 1/72 kit, this is a fake airplane in a merry-go-round for chidren, thus asymmetric to be raised from the center...
(A13) VOGTERSCHMITT P.1141 (from MESSERSCHMITT P.1079/1), 2010, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,27025.0.html

This model has been turned 90° to become laterally asymmetric, with a starboard jet. What-if modeller friends suggested wisely that I replaced the swept wing by an asymmetric oblique wing, and one of the tailplanes may be canard. Of course this model of mine is swastika-less, gun-less.
(A14) J.1001 (from JUNKERS J.1000), 2010, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,27364.0.html

This giant flying wing, 1/144, has been transformed into a short-span biplane glider 1/100, slightly asymmetric.
(A15) XT-5A TOPHER (from RQ-5A HUNTER), 2010, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,27573.0.html

The unmanned military RQ-5 at 1/72 scaled has turned civilian with a 3-seat-cockpit 1/144 (or long-eye if this is a bird), the twin-boom layout has become twin-fuselage, the wide symmetric monoplane with a low tailplane has given birth to a short-span asymmetric staggered biplane with a T-tail, the push-pull engines have disappeared into a glider.
(A16) NORTH-ROYCE TFB TWIN-FUNNY-BED (from ROLLS-ROYCE FTB FLYING-TEST-BED and North-American P-51B), 2010, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,28266.0.html

Civilian asymmetric Twin-Mustang without propeller nor tailplane, with tiny external wings.

Civilian (swastika-less gun-less) jet, sesquiplane vertical twin-fuselage.
(A18) J4M11 Sendengue (from Mitsubishi J4M1 Senden), 2011, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,30803.0.html

To reduce span, transformed into an asymmetric biplane. Training glider without weapons nor nationalistic markings.

The ogival delta wing has changed the shape of the Mustang. A T-tail and innocent doggy eyes provided other "improvements", and a personnality somehow.



(A22) MINI-51D WINGSTANG (from CHERANOVSKY BICh-3 and North American P-51D), 2013, see http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=2699.0

(A32) Kogi III Jetto (from Kogiken III), 2019, see http://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php/topic,46283.0.html

Instead of featuring 2 radial engines and a big wing, this model had two jets and a tiny span.

(A37) Amerikoeing B.390P (from Boeing 390 and North American P-51D), 2019

The Boeing 390 becomes classical with P-51D wings, tailplanes, canopy, and removing propeller (a secret force is better).
(A38) PAI Thabt (from IAI Eitan/Heron), 2019, see https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=47206.0

The normal monoplane drone has turned into a piloted biplane sailplane with canard foreplanes, T-T-tail and a slightly oblique upper wing for a touch of asymmetry. This Palestinian airplane would have been exported as Albalshun to the United Tribes of Amerindia.

The huge 1/144 unmanned aircraft is shortened into a little flat airplane (with 1/72 P-51D canopy) while its wingtips become wings of the 1/72 P-51D.

(A44) Ju-109B (from Junkers EF.109), 2023, see https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=51121.0

This symmetric twin-engined plane with separate fuselages became an asymmetric single-engined plane with fuselages close to one another. The size is much reduced and a few parts come from a P-51D kit (canopy, propeller blades). According to my own delirious propaganda, this Ju-109B without weapon would have replaced the evil Nazi Bf-109s...

The 1/144 two-seat fighter-bomber with Variable Geometry wings, two huge turbojets and rear tailplanes became a civilian single-seat canard with fixed wings, two rocket litte engines, 1/72. While... I have read in Wikipedia that "a scale model is a physical model which is geometrically similar to an object"; it is true here, as not similar to the very source F-111 but to the daydream f-iii.
(B137) F-16DC² Double Canard Falcon, asymmetric version (from Lockheed Martin F-16C Fighting Falcon), 2022, see https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=51124.0
Lateral booms have been added to hold foreplanes for agility, the single-engine single-fin plane is now twin-engine twin-fin, with a touch of asymmetry (for surprising trajectories).
(B138) µP-51 MicroStang (from North American P-51D Mustang), 2022, see https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=51125.0
The wings of the P-51 have been discarded (replaced by the tailplanes, removed from the tail, now tailless), the belly scoop has disappeared, the Merlin V engine has been turned upside down into an inverted V like DB-605 of Fiat G-55, the 4-blade propeller becomes 2-bladed.

Mixing different models
(C01) Bv 141 F-4 (from Blohm und Voss Bv 141B and Focke-Wulf Fw 189), 2006, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,8622.0.html
Adapting the tail of a twin-boom Fw 189 to the asymmetric Bv 141, getting an asymmetric-twin-boomer (loosing the good rear view of both 189 and 141…). Turning the engine as pusher, and imagining a second cockpit near the engine to repair it in flight. No swastika nor war colours.
(C02) Twin-Boom-Ranger (from Bell Jet-Ranger/OH-58 Kiowa), 2006, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,8821.0.html
Matching the truncated fuselage of the helicopter Jet Ranger with the twin booms of a Fw 189, the wing tips of a J.29, the propeller of a Whirlwind (to become an autogyro). Reduced rotor diameter (intermeshing with the propeller) to be less cumbersome. Red firemen colours instead of military.
(C03) Spitferschmitt Mk.99 (from Supermarine Spitfire Mk XVIE and Messerschmitt Bf-109G), 2006, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,11445.0.html
Twin-plane matching deadly opponents into friendship, without engines (glider) nor war colours (white for peace), 1/72 model matched with undercarriage of a 1/32 P-38.
(C04) XFY-163 Poget (from Convair XFY-1 Pogo and Messerschmitt Me-163 Komet), 2008, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,12121.0.html
Matching a Pogo tailsitter with a Komet rocket-plane (both being turned engine-less) into an asymmetric twin-plane. Swastika and military colours (and guns) removed, gold painting to make a family with the other tailsitters of mine (Kit-11 and Protwinus).
(C05) Lavochkin La-141 (from Lavochkin La-7 and Blohm und Voss Bv-141), 2009, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php?topic=25199.0
Unused Bv-141 parts, turned swastika-less glider, matched with an old realist La-7 top-killer turned civilan glider, the whole being twin-fuselage asymmetric.
(C06) Martokker D-XV (from Fokker D-XXIII and Marton X/V), 2010, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,27590.0.html
A civil "ekranoplane glider" made from 2 military push-pull planes. The sources were twin-boomers like the result: 2+2=2... but the 2 low tailplanes have created a T-T-tail (low+low=high, like negative*negative=positive).
(C07) MiG-3-47 Thunder-i-Mikoyan (from Mikoyan-i-Guryevich MiG-3 and Republic P-47D Thunderbolt), 1997+2010, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,28256.0.html
A big-nose P-47D (with lost canopy and tailplanes) had beeen streamlined deeply and is joined to a MiG-3 into a double civilian glider, removing guns, roundels, engines, most of the wings.
(C08) Fokton-82 Colane (from P-82 Twin-Mustang and Fokker D-XXIII and Marton X/V), 2010, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,28438.0.html
From the parts unused in building the Martokker and a P-82, came this weird and elegant object, looking like a Colani aircraft...
(C09) CurtAAB P-55J-21 (from Curtiss XP-55 and SAAB J.21), 2010, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,29239.0.html
The canard XP-55 has been turned opposite with a wing in front and a T-tail at the rear, and this at the top of a J.21. This would be impossible with their (pusher) propellers but here they are sailplanes, the whole being a sesquiplane glider, vertically-staggered twin-fuselage. Roundels and guns have been removed. Lost canopy and fragile thermoformed canopy have been replaced by streamlined eyes.
(C10) Mustanliner (from 3 copies of Twin-Mustang, 1 of Whirlwind, 1 of XP-77, etc.), 2010, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,29816.0.html
The radar pods of three Twin-Mustangs 1/72 become fuselages 1/400, one for passengers and the other for the mysterious power without jet nor propeller. The wings are external wings of Twin-Mustangs, while fins-tailplanes-pylons come from the sparebox.
(C11) P-821 Twee-Tween-Mustang (from North-American P-82 Twin-Mustang and P-51 Mustang), 2010, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,29562.0.html
A single Mustang is included inside a Twin-Mustang into a Triplex-Mustang, making easy the comparison of size between elements. 2 separate tails including a twin-tail... while the 3-seater is turned back to twin-seater, asymmetric for fun. All guns and military colours removed.
(C12) Push-Pull Tri-Mustang (from North-American P-82 Twin-Mustang and P-51D Mustang and P-51C Malcolm Hood), 2010, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,29849.0.html
A half Twin-Mustang is joined to a classical Mustang turned pusher, and to a razorback Mustang turned half-bubble. A canard nose and asymmetric tail add personnality. All guns and military colours removed.
(C13) Bv-224B Ovërwatiff (from Blohm und Voss Bv P.224 mainly), 2010, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,29995.0.html
The P.224 was a fantasy derivative of the real project P.194, and it is here what-ifed much further: truncating wings smaller, removing jet engine into a glider, discarding guns and swastikas. The canopy is the 1/48 Yokosuka Ohka's one adapted to the 1/72 P.224. The booms above wings are transferred below and link to uncommon tails (V V), asymmetric with tailplanes from P-51 Mustangs on the port side.
(C14) XP-3647 Hawkerbolt (from Curtiss P-36 Hawk and Republic P-47D Thunderbolt), 2010, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,30280.0.html

(C15) Ki-333 Shooting Sparebox (from Locheed T-33 Shooting Star and sparebox), 2011, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,31602.0.html
The unused fuel tanks of a T-33 1/72 have becomen fuselages of an asymmetric glider 1/144, using canopies of Ki-84 maybe, little wings and a fin (or tailplane) from unknown forgotten kits.
(C16) Bv 196T (from Blohm und Voss P.196 and Grumman F6F Hellcat), 2011, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php?topic=31603.0.html
The P.196 is here without bombs nor swastika. The external wings are turned into tandem wings, the central pod is very thinned, and a big radial engine replaces the turbojets; its exhaust drives a vertical motorjet providing lift, into a STOL or WIG plane.
(C17) Macchione Me-2025 Aldo (from Macchi Mc-202 Folgore and Reggiane Re-2005 Saggitario), 2011, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,31810.0.html
These aircraft are twinned together, and transformed into a civilian glider without guns nor military markings anymore. Extra tailplanes are used and the missing 2005 canopy is replaced by a bubble top.
(C18) Ju-86 Ka (from Junkers Ju-86D and PZL P23A Karas), 2011, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,31932.0.html
Without swastikas nor guns nor bombs anymore, the Ju-86D is married to a Karas, balancing the asymmetry of the Junkers engines both installed on the starboard wing. The span is less than a Ju-86D's and the length is much reduced by truncation. Alternative Karas tailplanes make a biplane wingtip.


(C19) N-119A Noralas
(C20) N-119B Fly-ar
(C21) N-119C Noroxcar (from Fairchild AC-119K Flying-Boxcar and Nord N.2500 Noratlas), 2011, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php?topic=32156.0
These 2 huge (military) cargos, 1/72 have been turned into a (civilian) little double-plane, 1/48. The part above is simply reduced, egg-plane-like, with a rear 'canopy'. The lower part is an asymmetric tri-jet low-wing from a source that was symmetric twin-jet high-wing.
(C22) GobliBolt (from XF-85 Goblin and P-47B Thunderbolt), 2011, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php?topic=32416.0
Two miltary ugly (?) fighters have given birth to a civilan oddity, with tandem swept wings, asymmetric fins, pusher propeller.
(C23) P-51R MustanBolt (from P-51D Mustang and P-47B Thunderbolt), 2011, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,32405.0.html
This tiny asymmetric radial-engined Mustang has been made with a Mustang half wing, single tailplane, fin, a Twin-Mustang canopy, a Thunderbolt engine, and other parts from the sparebox.
(C24) Sparebox X-1, 2011, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php?topic=32489.0
From miscellaneous parts came this asymmetric single-jet plane.

No commercial competition between F-16 and Mirage 2000: it is better to buy both, as a Mistel double-plane . The lower part is a glider, no weapon at all. The fins are located asymmetrically.
(C27) F-5OV Tigco & OV-105 Bronger (from F-5E Tiger & OV-10D Bronco), 2016-2017, see http://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php/topic,42978.0.html
The twin booms of the OV-10 were installed on the F-5 to make a supersonic twin-boomer, while the F-5 fin and tailplanes were adapted to the OV-10 pod, the wing becoming tandem wings.
(C28) MEL-38H Double-Twin-Boom & MEL-38J L'avion de Papa et Jacky (from P-38 Twin-Mustang & P-38 Lightning), 2017, see http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=6931.0
A twin-boom P-38 was mixed with a twin-fuselage P-82, into a 4-boom compound, the extra parts becoming a little plane with mysterious engine.
(C29) Twin-Sturmfire and Spitvogel-141 (from Spitfire Mk.IXe dual kit & Me-262 Sturmovel), 2017, see http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=7209.0
The Me-262 gave away its wings and jets, to get 2 sets of Spitfire wings and engine, mounted as biplane asymmetric push-pull... The 2 Spitfires made a Twin-Jet-Spitfire with the Me-262 wings and jets.
(C30) Spare-pargo Mk.5B (from Li-2, P-51, OS2U), 2018, see http://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php/topic,45011.0.html

The three competitors have all won, together as a triple mix, twin-boom and asymmetric, intead of rejecting them all.
(C38) XLR-51 & LR-51D LeeRichardstang (from Lee Richardson Annular Wing, North American P-51D Mustang), 2021, see https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=48769.0
The old annular wing goes to the Mustang and the classical wing (and tailplane and canopy) of the Mustang turn the old plane into a rather modern canard.

(C39) Lockheederican XP-3851A-3
(C40) XP-3851C-2
(C41) XP-3851AC-5 (from Lockheed P-38J Lightning and North-American P-51D Mustang, 2 copies of each), 2022, see https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=50484.0
One Mustang fuselage is replacing the Lightning pod to make the 3-fin A-3, the central and starboard parts of another Lightning are replaced by an almost complete Mustang to make the asymmetric C-2. The remaining parts are making the AC-5 asymmetric tandem-wing compound.

(D14) Supermicmac SpitfeeT (from Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I), 1976+2009, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,26127.html
This T-tail SpitfeeT, from another Universe, belongs to AZIAn Great-Britain (Aborigen-Zulu-India-Apache united land). Civilian, wearing colours celebrating Mother Nature.
(D15) Latékèore Double-Push-Pull (from Latécoère/daBasher Quatre Moteurs, from Heinkel He 219), 2009+2009, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,26465.0.html
The what-if modeler Brian da Basher had genially turned a 1/72 twin-engined fighter Heinkel 219 with swastika into a weapon-less 1/144 four-engined French airliner that would have been built one decade before. The fuselage (except tail) has been turned upside down, the gun bay becoming cockpit… He sent it to me as a gift, very wonderful, alas it arrived broken in 4 parts. Smiling, I “repaired”, turning even more what-if or absurd: with tail upside down also, for the plane standing on its lateral fins, with spats relocated under the nose… The “like wheel-upward” device may be the (commercially secret…) forefather of a radar.
(D16) Boeing 743-1 (from Boeing 747), 1976+2010, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,28067.0.html
Simply turned asymmetric by moving one engine.
(D17) Lockheed P-38 AWACS (from P-38 fighter), 1977+2010, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,29216.0.html
Adding a rotodome under the nose to improve balance. Discarded guns and roundels (turned from military USAF into civilian UHBAP: United Half-Breed of America Patrol).
(D18) †F-16SD (from General Dynamics YF-16), 1976+2010, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,29557.0.html
In the past painted in unreal colours with anachronic decals, then having its tail removed into a Simple Delta (before destruction to leave room for new models).
(D19) Spitshort (from Supermarine Spitfire Mk 1), 1976+2011, see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,32389.0.html
The 1/32 SpitfeeT (previously Spitfire) having lost its tailplane, and lacking room to display, it was turned into a tiny rocket-plane, 1/24. Civilian.
(D20) PF-38 Sesquiplane Lightning (from Lockheed P-38 Lightning), 2012, see http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=877.0
This 1/48 P-38 was too wide, but with external wings becoming a parasol wing, the size reduction is achieved (with maybe increased maneuverability at scale 1, better operability on carriers with elevators).
(D21) Boeing 747C CanardLiner (from Boeing 747), 2012, see http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=1239.0
After child-breaking, this airplane gift (that was not a kit) has been "repaired" with changes: jets above the wings and tailplanes in front position.
(D22) J2M12 Raiden Trainer (from Mitsubishi J2M3 Raiden), 1978+2013, see http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=1570.0
Lacking lateral room to display, the Frenchanese Raiden 1/32 has been turned into a civilian trainer glider, 1/48, for piloting an asymmetric aircraft
(D23) Boeing 777-2000 (from Boeing 777), 2013, see http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=3725.0
Broken down after transportation, a regular model of Boeing 777 was repaired with turbofan engines mounted on the tail, above tailplanes
(D24) Boeing 7474 Jumbobo (from Boeing 747), 2018, see http://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php/topic,45328.0.html
With a high wing, truncated fuselage, and asymmetry in engines, the 1/125 airliner has become a 1/48 little plane.
(D25) Mustata (from Mustang P-51D), 2019, see http://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php/topic,45773.0.html
The partly broken P-51^ has been modified into a canard glider with prone pilot and short span.
(D26) P-51P-208B (from P-51P-208A from P-51D), 2022, see https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=50112.0
The model, partly broken, was rebuilt with a mistake in the port boom angle, increasing asymmetry.
(D27) F-16VT Vee-Tail Falcon (from VTOF-16 from F-16Mlu), 2022, see https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=50700.0
The model, partly broken, was rebuilt with a simple V-Tail (on a shortened fuselage) instead of a tailsitter layout. There is a little asymmetry, one fin being larger than the other (from tailplanes for different versions).
(D28) P-38S Simplified Lightning (from P-38W from P-38L), 2022, see https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=50711.0

The model has been completed with push-pull engines from the broken P-38W model.
(D30) P-51D-51G Mumustang (from P-51P-208A from P-51D), 2022, see https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=50718.0
The model, partly broken, was rebuilt with a single shortened boom asymmetrically holding a fin, and with an antitorque propeller at the starboard wingtip.
(D31) F-5456A (from P-5456B from XP-54-55-56), 2022, see https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=50742.0
The model, partly broken, was rebuilt with a single shortened boom asymmetrically holding a fin, and with an antitorque propeller at the starboard wingtip.
(D32) KhAI-3.41 (from KhAI-3.00 from KhAI-3), 2022, see https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=50788.0
The model (from source 1/72), partly broken, was rebuilt with a central wing (from DC-10 1/300), a single lareral boom, asymmetric, 4 jets (from F-16 1/144) and 4 engines with propellers (from P-51 1/72 tanks with 1/144 P-38 propellers).
(D33) Fouga 141Bv Asymster (from Fugga McIster and De Havilland Wingfire), 2023, see https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=51597.0
The model having lost its port wing received a complete tandem wing instead, the remaining half-wing moving rearward with increased asymmetry.
