A group of steam driven fighters inspired by the movie Steamboy from Katsuhiro Otomo.
A bit of the story behind these planes is that they were invented in the future, after an industrial apocalypse caused the common people to have to revert back to the more pure power of steam, and the technology was advanced like never before. The rebel factions trying to overcome the Industrial Empire quickly invented chambers capable of highly compressing steam beyond any limit known before, and invented the fighters capable of utilizing this new power. They are equipped with steam hoses leading to jets on the back for extra speed, as well as normal props to assist in take off. I hope you all enjoy the pictures.
The droid tri-fighter was a deadly Separatist droid starfighter designed to be fast, agile and powerful in starfighter combat. It was used in large numbers throughout the Clone Wars. With laser cannons, missiles and the ability to deploy buzz droids, the tri-fighter was a force to be reckoned with.
Not too sure what it's called but was taken during my trip to the Intrepit in New York! Love the clouds :)

A replica Hawker Hurricane aircraft is now on display in Windsor in memory of its designer, Sir Sydney Camm.
The World War II fighter plane sits alongside the River Thames in Alexandra Gardens.
The aircraft is a reproduction of the plane flown by Battle of Britain pilot, and Marshal of the RAF, Sir John Grandy, who was also from Windsor.
Funding for the £39,000 memorial has been raised by the Sir Sydney Camm Commemorative Society.
Painting and markings:
I kept the livery conservative, and wanted to keep the aircraft relatively light overall, like a typical German late war night fighter. Therefore, the machine initially received an overall coat with RLM 76 (Humbrol 247), only with a few blurry fields and speckles with RLM 75 (Humbrol 246) on the wings’ upper surfaces and on the spine. Additionally, some mottling with mixed sahed of RLM 76 and 75 were added, primarily to the fuselage, engine and fin flanks.
An unusual marking is a single black wing underside. This is/was not a camouflage measure but rather an identification marking for anti-aircraft artillery on the ground to avoid friendly fire. This was, just as in real life, done with water-soluble paint (acrylic tar black, Revell 06), so that the original light blue-grey paint would shine through here and there and the black paint would easily wear or flake off.
To achieve this effects and to blur the mottling the whole model received, after it had been painted, an overall treatment with fine wet sand paper. After a light black ink washing some post-panel-shading was done, too.
The cockpit interior became very dark grey (RAL 7021, I used Revell 09 Anthracite) while the landing gear and its respective wells were painted in RLM 02 (Tamiya XF-22).
