Quote from: Wardukw-NZ on February 24, 2023, 11:52:04 AMI know what we call WW2 German armour which never got off the drawing board..paper panzers..but what the hell do ya call the aircraft  :unsure:

Generally, the whole paper Luftwaffe is bundled under the Luft '46 banner but is, sometimes, referred to as the PaperWaffe.

By the way, Paper Panzers are often put under the Heer '46 banner, too. ;)
Ahhh I have heard it called Luft46 before and obviously I'd totally forgotten that  ;D
But the Herr 46 is a new one on me Guy...ive always known it as paper panzers ..those two words basically got me building wiffies since armour is all I built for decades and like alot of us guys I got bored silly building OTB builds.
If I was to build all the WW2 German PP wiffs I'd need a ton of Panthers..Panzer IVs ..Panzer 38Ts and a huge amount of guns ..150mm and 128mm mostly..it would be nuts mate  :o
Have you seen the Modelcollect 1/72 and 1/35 "Fist of War " series?  Enough "paper panzers" to keep you occupied for years!! Even a 1/72 P.1500 "Ratte". Kits are excellent quality albeit a little expensive.

Sadly I have so many PP plans and profiles of these things I am trying not to look at anymore..that said it's extremely likely I will look at that Monster mate because now I basically have to since you mentioned it  :wacko:  ;)
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Done. Just added 1/72 to the offer. Took me a while, sorry. Had to finish the test prints to make sure parts came out alright.

:thumbsup: . I haven't got it myself. Pretty expensive but, there's even a 1/72 set of add ons to go with it, including the Rheintochter SAM and, twin 12.8 cm flak mount! It's on my   number 3 list ;
List 1) Must have
List 2 ) Could use
List 3)Would be nice

Installed the MLG and armament. For the 1:48 scale version I have some brass tubes for the gun barrels.
She does require some weight in the nacelles to make sure she is nose heavy.

Would consider this kit done, for now.
Off to a new one, had the Me P.1112 in mind.

I had the impression the P.203 was beefy, but it is actually not too bad when compared to the He 219.
The EMW is smaller than I thought... ;D

The 219 is not a small plane ..ive got a 32nd Revell 219 and it's bigger than a JU88 .
The P:203 is a big model man and I'm getting more tempted by the minute  ;D
