HI Paul a very weid lookin plane indeed but any chance of an under side shot as id like to see how its laid out an did you do a build of this as ive looked in aircraft under contruction an cant see it an no swastika ?

Hi Chris I didn't take any pics during the build. I will take some underneath pics later and put them on this thread. As for the swastikas, I've got some. There is a stigma with them but I think I will put them on for the historical factor.

Nicely done Paul, especially that canopy! I built the Airfix 1/72 version of this last year, for the same reason - it's such a weird looking plane. I bought a mask set though!

HI Paul the plane looks great an how it should do in my opinion an the underside
was a I thought it would be but sometime with these weid designs there is always the unexspected but a lovely model all the same an very superb paint finish very well done a model to be proud of really show that you are a top moddeler

Nice brush painting Paul! The canopy looks especially challenging and must have taken a fair amount of time.
I’ve seen documentary film footage of this aircraft demonstrated to Goering before the war. It is a strange looking thing but seemed to handle well in the film. What do you think will be your next model in the weird and wonderful theme?

Not 100% sure yet. I've been looking at the Horton. Then there's that German flying saucer. That was particularly strange. The hienkel 111 also looks a strange beastie with its 2 fuselages and 5 engines.

How about a gigant Paul now that was certaintly a weird lookin plane but the one with the engines on it

Crikey! Just looked it up and it's a big b****r. Makes you wonder how it got off the ground. Definitely one for the list. Thanks for that.

Really interesting model Paul and I applaud the hard work on the hand painting. It baffles me how they managed to balance this plane for flight. Great looking model and looks better for the addition of the Swastika.
