262+2x109=p. 28.776

[HOG]

"But I must finish the half dozen or so projects I have on the go before I start anything else. The 109TL was supposed to be a quick 5 day project just to relieve the stress."  

The above was written just a few days ago, and then I saw a post by Leigh which involved Me 262 & 2x 109 kits. Leigh`s mod was in 1:72 scale and I wondered what I could do in 1:48. I had a Dragon 262 fuselage from the mistel kit and a couple of Revell/Monogram G10`s and before I knew what my hands were doing, I was sawing lumps of the 262.

Any way I have reached a compromise with myself and I am going to work on both this and the 262C1a that I posted earlier at the same time.

Anyway I`m this far into the `millering` and have shortend the 262 at both ends. The 109 has only the rear decking removed as yet.





The other side will be a mirror image of whats shown with a one piece tailplance joining the two fuselges at the reat and I presume a tricycle undercart

Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!!!!      

But perhaps you should cut the `109 wing in half, and use another wing in the middle between the fuselages? Or else wingspan would be a bit too short :salute:

Nah I think it`l work, but if your really good I might add spats! ...............................................................................................................................sorry that should read slats.

Spats!?

Who said spats!?

Before our BdB says it, spats add 1000% to the coolness factor.....

I too, say go with it, HOG!!!

So far it looks fantastic. I like the way you blended the rear of the 262.

Woah, that's funky! Do it!

I like the concept. It has the beginnings of looking like one of the Blohm and Voss project fighters.

Just a suggestion.

Cut the wing of the 109 down the centre and make a centre piece wing section between the 109 and 262 section.

Move the cockpit out sightly it looks a little close.

Change the orentation of the landing gear as for this concept the 109 gear won't cut it.

Hi All Again,
Please note-

"The other side will be a mirror image of whats shown with a one piece tailplance joining the two fuselges at the reat and I presume a tricycle undercart"

The `other side` will have another fuselage wing etc just like the one shown like onna P38 but a question-
What is a `tailplance` and where is a `reat`?

Hi All Againist,
Now that the 109TL(Eddies Request) is finished I can now start on this.
Been millerizing plastic and playing zoso and doing soso (slaponsandoff) and have the cuts and pix to prove it.











(Now I may not of been here long but i think I`ve worked out how to get your attention-deep breath)

It`s going to have a `T` tail and pink paint with SEAC markings with a natural metal finish with the top coat done in Marmite & mayonaise with a light salt garnish and a `Y`tail and spatz with unusual decals maybe from my hometown of Lavenham and RATO pods with 50`s Brit prototype markings in late Luftwaffy colours possibly with an impecably clean weathered finish. And yes I do know that spatz add 1000% to the work factor .

So I`m of out to stock up on filler and wet n dry and I`ll see you in the fall or in the words of Hall and Oates "I`m going shopping and I may be some time"

Regards to all Gary[8-]

Woah is that cool, HOG! I really like your latest modification!

It's ok about the spats....slats are very important too and also add to the coolness factor.

Not sure if it is just me, but I cannot see any of your latest pics Gary.

Nope me too when I came back to look at this again. I got the dreaded red X. At least it's a chance to use the new emoticon.

Did someone say "T-Tail"

Hi All
Am posting again let me know if you can see them.













Hows that?.  Recently organised photobucket so that may be cause.
When I originally posted these I noticed that I had some serious down thrust on the  outer fuselages (or are they now nacelles) in relation to the cockpit see photo 2. This has now been cured.
