after seeing the concept art in Tigercat's Indiana Jones Flying wing thread, there also was another Ron Cobb design.
the Heinkel He155 V3.

i googled some info and found this, but the bottom concept profile looks to modern, even futuristic, to be '46.



im going to use the top concept art as a basis for this build, but its gonna incorporate some changes to keep in relation to the '46 universe.
as a basis im gonna use the Revell 1/72 FW Flitzer kit and a pair of Jumo 004 engines leftover from a Revell 1/72 Me262A. as for the tail, im gonna what other model i can salvage it from, propably an Alpha Jet or Fouga Magister :mellow:

pics to follow as soon as i get more research done  :mellow:

I thought about doing one of these a couple of years ago, but in the end, I couldn't bring myself to hack up my Fine Molds X-Wing for the front fuselage.

Finished this one in time; but with a little extension.........  ;D ;D. It´s just a kidding.

I´ve already know what the nose of your He 155 remember me: THE FIGHTER X WING OF STAR WARS !

I´m very interested in this model. I want to make one for my collection.
