That first sample looks like Shamoo!  Cool piece. 

 

Hey, you know, you're right!  Why didn't I notice that?  

[philo426]

I never really noticed that but I can see the resemblance!

Here is another in original colors that I also re-painted.

Yes I remember that and the red P-38.I think the jet was from the 50s and yes it is a bit stubby and bulbous .It was originally red and silver but I like the red orange and white scheme I painted it in.

Wow!  That's one chubby jet!  Looks like whoever had it made sure it was well-fed! 

Interesting, I remember the Hubley folding wing P-47 from when I was a kid but don't ever remember seeing a jet like that.

Found a badly chipped Hubley folding wing jet that I stripped down and  thought that it would make a good flat car load .Just had to make a couple of boots to hold the landing gear and I was good to go.
