It would be a good reason to build up a Me-110 with cloth wings, betrousered fixed gear, and a set of turboprops sprouting out of the wings.

Or for a fly off between the Su-24 and FB-111.    etc.   

As always, anyone's free to use the ideas if they so wish.

Funny thing, at my club meeting couple of days ago we had to nominate a kit to build for our 6 month challange. I nominated the trumpeter 1/32 me262 which I plan to finish in an SS scheme from the Luft 46 comic by ted nomura.

I come home and there is an email advising me of the start of this build.  talk about two birds with one stone! Happy days!

Bad Timing, for me. I'd love to join the GB, but...

I have a plethora of suitable Luftwaffe alternates, but I am committed and dedicated to my dad's USS Enterprise tribute model. I am hoping to have it done for possible presentation aboard the USS Midway for a Midway veteran's reunion this June. The way things go with me, I am pretty sure I will need ALL of the time from now until then to devote to my project.

However, for whatever whetting of modeling appetite it might induce, here are some of my 1/72 possibilities that are "in the pipeline" for my life-list of builds:

1. He-211:  "Phoenix" re-make, putting the 1/60 Lindberg Heinkel He-111 fuselage to work to enlargen the Italeri/Roden one presently part of the build. I would keep the wings as is.

2. Bf 209 H/T:  Use a Me-209 tail on a Snap-Tite (1/64) Bf-109, Bf-109 "H" wings, and Ki-100 engine/forward fuselage.

3. He-121: High-altitude interceptor based on a 1/100 He-111, with twinned engine driving one propeller. Will look like a He-119 with a cockpit on top. Ar-234 wing extensions. Probably Japanese markings, however, but originally bought from Germany.

4. He-113M: Desert He-100 follow-on using "Nanzan" forward fuselage, Mustang tail, and He-280 wings. Livery as German-traded-from-Italian, with Italian camo overlain with some German markings.

5. Me-262K glass-nosed bomber. Multi-engined jets (maybe fuselage AND wings).

6. "Mein Flucht" Hitler Berlin-escape machine with Hitler, Goering, and Hanna Reitsch figures. Combo of Do-335 and Ar-234.

7. Ta-152T: Extended-wing, two-place torpedo-bomber for German carriers. Will use Nichimo 1/65 Fw-190 for base, increasing length a bit (will be more "balanced" for wingspan-to-length ratio).

The defense rests.
