A demon machine, in all senses of the word, and a superb backstory as well.

Well done!

Very nice

Kamikaze!

Hell, it's already a flying bomb, just throw some explosives in the nose to give it a bit more punch.

Great color choices! The back story is good, too. I don't think the Japanese would have cared to get pilots back if keeping them in for the ride would have increased the chances of a successful intercept. Remove the parachutes and put a little extra C-Stoff and T-Stoff in the nose and it would increase the explosive potential on impact.

The color selection is absolut beautiful , i like that.
And mrs. K likes it also, so think about a similar stuff 😁

That makes too much sense to feature in this group build

Thank you very much!! Very valid point, but I had the thought that in that stage of the war with such limited resources, they would want to recover some of their materials

Very good.

Air launching one of these from something like a Betty would give them more time on target and be an even badder idea as you'd risk losing both the bomber and the 328 in a massive C-Stoff explosion.

That's come out really well

Something I noticed about this build - you made an exceptionally bland design look visually interesting! Quite the "glow up"

That's such a good, bad..... bad, good idea!

Thank you all for the kind words! I'm glad you've all enjoyed the build as much as I have!
