Giampiero Piva Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Born from a request from the RLM technical office for a 1937 ground attack and close support aircraft (Schlachtflugzeug), it was developed by extensively modifying the FW189 cell, to obtain a future C version, but the competition was won by Henschel who had presented the HS129. The model, built several years ago, represents the V6 prototype as it appeared at the Erprobungsstelle in Rechlin in October 1940. The MPM kit is the classic good 'short run', which however required some modifications in the cockpit glazing, in the tail wheel area and in that of the whole landing gear/l.g. wells and the self-construction of the front part of the engines. The four ETC50 underwing racks and related SC50 bombs have also been added. The model, entirely brush painted with Gloy colours, has the classic splinter scheme in 70/71/65; the decals are those of the kit. Hope you like.

Bertie McBoatface Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 This is the first time I've seen this modelled though I've encountered photograps before. It's very interesting to see it, thank you. You did a very good job on the odd looking bird. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeusa Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Very nice job on this prototype. You did good on the assembly of this short run kit. The finish is just as equally well done. Just looking at the aircraft, it looks woefully underpowered. Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
