As many knows here, im in much interest in making rare scratch builds from just designideas, prototypes, or planes of very low production numbers total.
One ive had in my plans for a long time is the MAK-10 made by a russian aviator designer who moved to France. This plane have many designideas influenced by typical typical russian designs of the earlyer times. But had a very unique style anyway. It doesnt have a very wide body, rather a bit thin one vs. the length. That gave some "buckles" on the front body, to make space for the French V-12 engine. It was also a open one seater, but had also space for one more further back, hided under a deckel. It also had some nice colors in design, Main was red, and rest was aluminium/ stainless steel. A beautiful long thinner design on all.
The most special here , was its telescopic wing ends, as a variable-geometry research aircraft, who changed the planes wingspan from 13m to 21m hydraulically.
The type 123 was even more "crazy" by length as a 6 seater, from me doesnt look as elegant though.
I started building with the last part of the foamboard here, (awaiting new load) and got to make the front fuselage to end of pilot cockpit.
Unshure of what size it get, but target is approx 1200mm long , who will give approx 1000mm wingspan retractet, and wings fully out approx. 1500-1600mm wide.
