Hey all!

My latest creation has just been posted on our club's website.

If you like Zwillings, you should take a look.

FW 380

Please let me know what you think, and give any feedback you feel like! (I'll take both good and bad.)

Thanks!

That's nice!!! albeit at first glance (to the post here) I thought you have made an airbus A380 in Luftwaffe markings  :wacko:  
King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

LOL!

I can see  you would think that, but that's not my style.

The reason I chose 380 is that it's 2x190. See?  :)

Mechworker,

Excellent model! :cheers:

Great idea for a Zwilling, were you aware that Kurt Tank considered a Ta 152 Zwilling? It was not an official RLM project and never got beyond some rough drawings but what a weapon that would have been! Ideal for shooting down B-36 bombers.

Great stuff, Mechworker! I particularly like the way our camo paintjob turned out. Incredibly believable! I'm sure this one would turn heads and earn you kudos at any show! Thanks for sharing it with us.

What a great idea!

Very nicely done and quite plausible. I also love the back story.  B)

Thanks, guys.

Just out of curiosity, where is the twin tail discussion?

Tophe -one of the few frenchmen here with I Pollux Delta Seven and JC Carbonel- is the supreme emperor of Twin-tail / Zwilling aircrafts. He'll love your model (and found other ideas)

Same place he sits in the radar equipped Corsairs, single-seat night fighter 262s and radar equipped Fw 190s (see here for a drawing of the last in my list.

Don't forget, not every night fighter had a radar operator.

Of course they did!

There was a trained squirrel with a little screen in the radar pod!

Of course, for those not well trained in the art of sarcasm, I mean he sits in the same place - the pilot's seat!
