I stumbled across the site - "Forgotten Futures" - with many pics of prototype AFVs and aircraft. Much fun and, perhaps, inspiration ( @Delta_Strife !

A very interesting website indeed! That vehicle for example looks like a Samochód pancerny wz. 28.
Right now I have a naval inspiration and have been busy updating nations. Just finished another one so I will have to bug Ares to get the sounds done.
Hopefully summertime will allow me to get more items done but right now swamped with work.

"Swamped with work" sounds like a Good Thing these days
And summertime certainly seems close at hand ...... Any chance of a hint at what age of ships you're "tinkering" with?
Hey Ozy!
For now anything pre-coldwar but mostly focused on WWII. I have a huge backlog of models I want to clear out.

Knowing you, I'm assuming that there will be some seriously interesting exotica in there - Although I'm not certain how much more exotic even you can get beyond a submarine aircraft carrier!
Civinator posted a great sneak peak at some of the stuff I have done over on his SOE thread.
How about a zeppelin aircraft carrier!

Nice, to bad they didn't have an airstrip on them.
The closet thing I have is the airship and fighters from
The Magnificent Kotobuki
Airship
Flight Deck
I even have the Ki-43 with correct colour scheme.
It really a nice detailed model.

AND I nearly forgot the USSR 's Tupolev TB3 4M-17F (capable of carrying 5 to 6 aircraft) -
Although set 20 or so years earlier, I can't help but think of the 1960's movie, "THOSE MAGNIFICENT MEN IN THEIR FLYING MACHINES"

Also the Japanese had 3 submarine aircraft carriers completed for world war 2 who could carry 3 dive bombers I-400-class submarine - Wikipedia

They actually had quite a few aircraft-carrying subs, and a plane from one of them actually bombed the Pacific Northwest in 1942 using incendiary bombs trying to start forest fires. The big I-400 ckass were the largest submarines built prior to some of the missile-carrying nuclear subs. The U.S. Navy thoroughly studied them.
You can get a lot of the technical information here, from an online series of the U.S. Naval Technical Mission to Japan. That whole site is an absolute treasure trove of information on World War 2 Technology.
