invidia Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Micro Mir 1/72. One of those kits you have to build because its just abit 'wacky'. The real thing was built and tested. I have built a few micro mir kits, this was one of the easier to build. I made up the colour scheme, RLM 76 with a light mottle of RLM 02. thanks for looking. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitestar12chris Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Very nicely built, did it nose dive when engine cut out LOL, great weathering. All the best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Love it! Apparently the thing had a tendency to want to flip onto it's back when the pulse jet was engaged. Not an ideal situation in a craft packed with high explosive! Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin56 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 A very unusual subject beautifully built Love the mottle. Must have been a vicious little floaty thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FelineTurbine Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Interesting model, never seen or heard anything from that concept before. What was its purpose? Just a technology platform? Scouting? Self destruction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seadog Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Bloody Hell! Don't tell me - the floats doubled as fuel tanks, right. Sort of like the Schneider Cup racers.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invidia Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 Interesting model, never seen or heard anything from that concept before. What was its purpose? Just a technology platform? Scouting? Self destruction? it was an attack boat, the crew aimed at the target and then 'bailed out'. one of the late war wonder weapons i believe, 1 was built and tested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jockster Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Being a biker this really appeals. Wheels, seat, engine and go. Floats, seats, engine and go! I've never heard of this thing before, but considering all the mental contraptions that came out of WWII Germany, I'm not in the least surprised by this! Nice build and thanks for feeding the imagination with a rather tasty snack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimme Shelter Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Nice - only the Jerrys could muster something weird as this - nice work all the same - something different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
