Pete in Lincs Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 It was gloriously bonkers yet it did fly. I've never read whether it was good to fly or not though. Nice result, I always wanted to build one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Nice result! It was really a bonker plane... Fuselage from He177, tail from Ju 188...Jet engines, negative angle swept wing and fixed u/c! The post war history in Soviet Union is also peculiar https://tanks45.tripod.com/Jets45/Histories/Ju-287/Ju-287.htm Regards J-W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeusa Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 A great representation of an aircraft that was not "Luft 46" but actually was build and flown numerous times. That is was built from bits and pieces of different aircraft including B-24 parts is somewhat amazing. Thanks for sharing your build of this kit. Wonderful job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
