Anyhow what’s a Horten but an Nazi plane from an Indiana Jones movie? Even their Horten pilot is a Buzz Lightyear rip-off. 

 

Yes, and no messy licensing fees, but it's still slightly sinister: Noxie steampunk, with more Iron Sky overtones.

Maybe not outer space, but definitely exoatmospheric.

Makes me think of another newly-concocted Eastern missile menace

May I suggest another Gotha for kit number 3?

 

 

Gotha P.60

German late-war fighter/nightfighter project.

Wasn't that an Arado E-555 paper plane in Indiana Jones?

 

Kind regards,

Hi Tony - I'm not being funny with you but I literally have no idea what you are talking about  when you say "Noxie steampunk, with more Iron Sky overtones"

 

🫠 But then it's not difficult to confuse me.

 

Kind regards,

"Steampunk"is a form or sub genre of science fiction[ first coming out around 1987] using 19th century styles mixed with retro futuristic steam powered machinery. Iron sky refers to a movie[supposedly a comedy] about Nazis escaping to the moon after ww2 to establish a base and build a fleet to come back take over Earth[ kind of a 4th Reich type thing] I have to admit seeing it and have been forever sorry I wasted the time[ I'd like to get those 2 hours back]. It proves my point that there's some people in the world who buy a dog turd if it had a swastika on it.

Thank you @CRAZY IVAN5 and ‘Noxie’?  Perhaps I am being dumb here? (It wouldn’t be the first time).

‘Wasn't that an Arado E-555 paper plane in Indiana Jones?’

Who cares? As long as the shape is weird and the villains villainous 

Like in this unjustly ignored masterpiece…
