Secret Weapons over Normandy Aircraft Q

[Cobra]

Hey Guys, Has Anyone Ever Built Models Based on the Video & Computer Game "Secret weapons Over Normandy"?? i own the Game on PS2 & was Thinking it might be a Subject for Building and Possible Fodder for a Whif. I ask because i'm Not Sure if Some of the Planes like the JU-88,Etc. Can Be found as Models. What Say You? thanks for Looking.Dan

 I haven't played the game ( I gather its an up date of the old Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe game)
but I doubt you'll have much trouble finding kits of most, if not all represented in the game. Depending on
what scale you like, you'll be able to find fighter versions of the Ju 88 from a number of manufacturers
in 1/72, a few in 1/48, and there is now a kit of the 88 in 1/32, although at present its the early 'A' bomber
version.

Likewise, the jet and rocket fighters are fairly well served in kit form in all three major scales, and if they get
much further out than the Me 163, 262, He 162, and Go 229* I'd be surprised. But even then you're not out
of luck-though you may run quickly out of money. If you do a search for "Luft '46 models" you'll see what I
mean. There is still an awful lot of stuff out there, but limited run resin kits tend to be a bit pricey.

It isn't hard to get cheap models of all the planes in the game, even the XP-56 'Black Bullet', as Czech Model do a resin kit of it which should be about £15.  You might struggle on the XF5U-1 Pancake, as the only model I know of is a rare Tamiya one.

... a rare Tamiya one.

iirc it is a Hasegawa model.

...but I'm pretty sure it wasn't a Hasegawa mold. ( Might have been Fine Molds, but I only saw the kit once,
years ago. ) There was a Pagasus Ltd kit of the Flapjack ( I have one, somewhere ) but like the Hasegawa,
its long out of production.

I'm pretty sure it was a hasegawa boxing I saw.  ISTR that one of the Czech companies does the proof of concept aircraft, the V-173.
