JohnT Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Hmnnnn. Odd logic to me. Seems like a waste of a good fighter in the one time use of the bottom 262. Not to mention two precious engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkoZG Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 This Mistel configuration was allegedly only a project. However, this photo looks very convincingly so it is hard to tell if it shows a well executed model or something real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneEighthBit Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Makes me think of the odd combo of a P-38 attached to the top of a GAL Hamilcar glider they tried in 1949. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tempestfan Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 MPM had a number of such combos among their early kits, all with the Heller/Smer as base kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luka Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 It's a model. The builder put a grainy filter over the pic for a 'what if-wartime' shot, but if this photo is shown out of that showcase context, it may indeed raise some eyebrows.. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a matter of logic, but looking busy on the drawing board with exciting looking ideas so you weren't hauled away to the Eastern Front. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
