Doc Brown's Time Traveling Train...."retractable wings"?

[Lee Clifton]

Hey Guys. After seeing a post on a Chitty Chitty Bang Bang build I got to looking at the retractable wings. Do you think with a repaint they could be kit-bashed to use on the Doc Brown's Time Traveling Train model? That was the one thing about that model I thought it needed as an alternate build version.

Anything can be kit bashed, with your abilities, good results are assured! I 'm sure you could make more appropriate wings.

I have to echo @zathros. I think that you can make better wings. with that being said, I think that the concept as a whole is a great idea! I strongly believe that you will be able to knock it out of the park!

Doc Brown's train from Back to the Future is pretty hard to find photos of when its flying. I've seen the real prop at Universal Studios Florida but that flying one is tough to research.

around 2:35 all the parts start to move into flight mode... The actual wings look just like a 1/4 of an aperture diaphragm, which shouldn't be a problem to build.
