Nigel Heath Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 This odd looking aircraft was a proposal from B&V which never got off the drawing board. The RLM quite sensibly selected the Me 262 instead. The 1/72nd kit is from Revell, released in 1997 and is a very workmanlike effort. I received it as a present from g-usa while in Texas, so thanks George. The seat was a very odd shape so I scratch built a replacement and added PE belts. I also added a D/F loop, underwing mast, new pitot tube and brake lines. The main camouflage colours are Mr Color lacquers and gave a very pleasing finished result. I managed to melt the kit propeller so sourced a resin replacement from Telford. Here is the build thread. I hope you like it. Nigel 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bordfunker Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Nigel, another great looking build, of a somewhat weird looking prototype! You do seem to be making a habit of these now! Karl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knikki Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Just read the WIP and found it really good, not a kit I would choose myself but it has finished up looking great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeusa Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Didn't notice the weird undercarriage layout until the RFI. Even that is strange. It looks great. I hope you enjoyed building it. You did a far better job on it than I could have. Way to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengalensis Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Lovely work Nigel, and an interesting subject. I wonder what the benefits would be that made some think that this design was the right thing to do under the circumstances... The paint looks great too, good to see it all went well through the work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winenut Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Nige! (as they say in Australia) What a fantastic result. Beautiful clean lines, lovely detail on a cracking and different aircraft.
