Junkers EF 128

The Plane:

The Junkers EF 128 was one of the compeditors of the "Emergency Fighter Program" of earcl 1945 to build a plane that should replace the just introduced Volksjäger (He 162).
Powered by the most capable jet engine, the Heinkel HeS 011 and armed with four MK 108 cannons, the plane was projects to reach about 1000kph.
It was planned to introduce the plane in mid 1945, but due to the outcome of the war only models of the plane could be build. In March 1945 all construction plans were ready to start to build a first prototype, but the end of the war prevented this.

The model shows a Junkers EF 128 how it could have looked like in the second half of 1945.

The Model:

Its a 1/72 scale Huma kit, build OOB. Altough I added some weight to the nose, its still tail heavy. therefore I had to build a small support vehicle to keep the plane in the right position.
The model is painted with Revell Aqua Color and some additional decals from a Revell Me 262 were added.

Nice! 

I also have one in the stash (donated from a friend), but I am not certain if I build it as a Luft '46 aircraft or add a hook, paint it all dark blue and make an early USN jet from it...
