Cantwell X wing proto?

DEFINITELY interested in a group ID/build. This has been on my short list for a while. Except the short list is pretty long......:lol
It was not included in the Celebration exhibit I went to in 2007 here in L.A. From what I recall, the body appears to be from one of the larger scale top-fuel dragsters. I had thought that the engines were the Saturn V parts, but for some reason I revised that. Now, I can't remember why. If someone can post pics we can get started.......

Good to hear Gene, im super in for a group thing :eek The body is indeed a Top Fuel.......so im hoping we can get some ref to ID the rest of her.....for me, i get a feeling there may be a lot of 1/24 Airfix aircraft adorning the back end....possibly even the engine unit from the said Top Fuel, seems like they also used the windsheild, and capped it off on the top?

I've been trying to ID those engines for a while (casually). Same ones on one of the Pirate ships. It's a 1/16th Top Fuel Dragster. I have more pics - just can't share 'em, but if we can nail down the engines and racer kit, I could get the wing patterns made accurately.

The orange engine nozzles appear to be drug/pill bottles :
Sorry I can't help with the rest ....

Holy cow, wouldja look at that! I had been thinking that they had those "twist/lock" ridges on the ends, but I didn't extrapolate far enough.
Thanks! Once we ID the dragster, we can nail the bottles. Glad I work for a drug institute :-D - LOTS of models to choose from, I reckon.

Heh, it's surprising those little old school McDonalds "coke spoons' didn't make an appearance somewhere, too!

They did. The Universal Hartland guys stuck them on a miniature landscape they built for BUCK ROGERS......... http://www.universalhartland.com/code/buck118c.shtml (bottom of page)

That explains the raised ridge in the middle of the armature.
I will post the dragsters specs as soon as it arrives. I want to be doubly sure.
