I've been trying to research the Hafner Rotatank, and have come up wanting, but for a three view. Are there any publications which might have any information on this. I've been hoping that I'd be able to find a history on Hafner and his designs, but I'm not having much luck. Has anyone ever built a model of this?

Have you looked for "Rotabuggy" or "ML 10/42 Flying Jeep"?

A general description of Hafner's Rotatank from Aeroplane Monthly October 1991 written by Philip Jarrett. You'll find a good summary of Hafner and his designs on the Secret Projects site.

Yes I have, and in many articles, the Rotatank is mentioned with 3 view, but that's about it. So, should I decide that this is crazy enough to tickle me a bit, I might make an attempt to draw plans for scratch building. And while I wouldn't mind 1/35 scale(a comfy one for me, but perhaps not this "much" comfy), 1/72 might be something a tad more realistic. After all, I have to include a Valentine, right?
