81-er Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Lots of us have an interest in all those madcap creations that the Germans were working on at the end of WW2, so how about a GB dedicated to them? As far as I see it, the rules on eligibility should be pretty straightforward: Any aircraft under active development that didn’t achieve operational status before May 1945, or that would have achieved it in late 1944 onwards for cancelled projects. Bring on your Amerika Bombers, emergency fighters, way-out-there ideas etc. If you need some inspiration, it’s a pretty safe bet to say anything on http://www.luft46.com/ will be eligible. I’m also willing to accept proposed variants as well, so an Ar-234 P or D model would be eligible, but the B & C models that saw active service wouldn’t. If in doubt, ask!

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) Well Im in not sure what with yet, probably a Heinkel 279/280. I wish you luck as this has been tried before, you might get more interest if it was expanded to cover allied and other axis nations ? https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235050008-heinkel-he279-spirale-mx4857-148/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinkel_He_280 Theyre basically the same airframe but the 279 was either a test to see if the airframe was A. feasible or an B. an alternative pending Jet engine construction ? Oh @JOCKNEY Pat this ones for you if memory serves you tried this before ? Edited April 26, 2022 by Corsairfoxfouruncle 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I'm always up for this, can't remember how many times we've tried to get this or a WhatIf GB up!!! Pity it isn't a WhatIf build, I still have that He-477Z I've been threatening to build floating around! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81-er Posted April 27, 2022 Author Share Posted April 27, 2022 Excellent! Good to have you all on board folks! 23 hours ago, Corsairfoxfouruncle said: Well Im in not sure what with yet, probably a Heinkel 279/280. I wish you luck as this has been tried before, you might get more interest if it was expanded to cover allied and other axis nations ? Both good choices there, Dennis. Funnily enough, I did consider making it an "air war 46" proposal, but I don't actually know that much about all of the allied stuff that was canned post-WW2, or just assumed it came into service anyway? 7 hours ago, trickyrich said: I'm always up for this, can't remember how many times we've tried to get this or a WhatIf GB up!!!
