SleeperService Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 What that needs is the Revell 1/72 E.555 scaling up to compliment it. Rivet counter free zone. Happy Days 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturmovik Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 (edited) I´m positively sure I´ve seen this aircraft while looking at Luft 46 images, but I can´t remember its name. Edit: Here it is, straight from the Luft46.com website, the Focke Wulf Fw 3x1000 Project B fast bomber: http://www.luft46.com/fw/fw1000b.html Edited November 28, 2018 by Sturmovik 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Days The Ar 555 would be massive in 48, and I´d definitely need something else than a brush to paint it. And we haven´t talked about how much nose weight it would need. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we haven´t talked about how much nose weight it would need. Not really that massive. I think the wing area gives a false impression. In 1/48 the E555 would be similar to the Airfix Vulcan in terms of wing area/span.I brush painted my Vulcans so, I wouldn't have a problem with the (hypothetical) Arado.. I don't own an airbrush anyway!. When I built the Revell E.555, I stuffed weight into the wing leading edges. As it was forward of the main undercarriage, it worked fine. I suggest a similar approach might work with this model unless of course the manufacturer kindly provides weights? Allan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I like ModelCollect's thinking. I already have several of their fictional (if I may use the term ) German AFVs. If this is the start of a whole range of Luftwaffe 46 or, other similar types I wont object. Wonder if they've read British Secret Projects etc?

Caerbannog Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Good choice - no problems with an oddly shaped nose this time :-D I also wonder why always Luft 46. I like many of the German concepts but it would be nice to see some other nations concepts as well. Also not fixed on late war time line. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artie Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Jokes aside, there must be some kind of magic around those late projects. It may be the romanticism of "what could have been", a fascination for such an advanced technology...who knows... What is undeniable, is the strength that this type of models has, we like it or not. Just another option, I don't like them at all, but use to be best sellers....and a blank canvas for "whiffers"...!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the two separate versions of the Grumman A-12 might qualify as other nations concepts?😀. You 're right though. It would be nice and, there is a wealth of material to choose from.

JWM Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 It is not Luft '46 but rather Luft'51. In background is sloughtery of next 10 (or more) million people surelly... J-W 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
