Junkers Ju287 V1 - not so much an a/c - more a collection of spare parts in close formation

Updated to use FlickR instead of PB. Interestingly I have still not been blackballed

Thank you for updating this John.

 

I'd missed it the first time around. I love early jet and rocket aircraft. In all honesty I've never seen this kit built; it was always quite hard to find.

 

Huma kits were great, it's a shame they're no longer in production.

 

You did a really nice job here, you must be proud to have this rare bird in your collection. Thanks for showing the extra detail like the RATO mounts and angle of the jet engines.

I would guess the test pilot figured that thing or firing squad   at least in that thing he'd have a chance to fly away.
