That is beautiful.....In a flying deathtrap sort of way!  :lol:

 

I always fancied modelling one of these sat on a length of launch rail, with a terrified looking Hitlerjugend pilot and a SS dude nailing the cockpit closed!  :P

By the way, these pilots were supposed to receive a parachute, in contrast to kamikaze. These are simply prototypes of the current modern guided missiles.;)

Wow, amazing detail for 1/72nd. Hanna Rich was supposed to have flown one of these, very brave as there was no way of getting out  in an emergency. The Imperial War Museum in London has some b/w pictures of the captured examples, but  these were   of several re-painted in speculative colours by the allies  before they wre displayed. the FZG-76 was costed at £11 (in 1965 pounds)  by the allies, , and many were unpainted steel or a grey primer, some RLM blue  under and RLM greens on top.  often camouflaged to hide when stored .  so dangerous to fly that sensibly, even Cpt. Eric Brown passed on this one.
