mike romeo Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Hi folks, After what has been a very protracted build, I present my attempt at the whatif He277B-1. The backstory was going to involve the DB610 engine being made to work, followed by German aspirations for something that could carry a heavier payload further than a He177. During the course of the build, I realised that the Airfix '177 cowlings were significantly smaller than those of the Revell kit. I therefore now think this was merely an attempt to reengine the '177 with smaller engines that actually worked. Backstory aside, here is my cut n shut, comprised of 2 Airfix He 177s, a butchered Revell He 177A-6 rear section of considerably reduced height and 2 upside down E-2C fins. Both fuse and wings have been extended and the armament system has been upgraded. Hope you like it: regards, Martin 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abandoned Project Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Impressive! a 3 kit stretch! Makes my 2 kit 747-600 rather tame. Amerika Bomber next maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike romeo Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 Thanks, chaps! It doesn't photograph that well, but I'm quite pleased with it I'm partial to the odd whif, but my next build will be a nice easy one to help the ol' mojo. Any suggestions? WWII, single engined, simple colour scheme? Regards Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're dead right, although this was posted in 2017, so Mike Romeo might not see it. He hasn't been on since summer 2023. Wonder where he went?
