I did my part to help this happen: my build of the Airfix kit with Kiwi Resin Mk.31 nose and tail is waiting for paint. You're all bloody welcome  :banghead:

Apparently these Daimler-benz Project 'F's were a manned (suicide?) missile designed to be launched from a carrier aircraft, so this might indicate that Fly are working on a 1/144th scale Project 'C': the monster twin-fuselage carrier plane: http://www.luft46.com/db/dbbombf.html

Not officially a suicide mission, but very low chances of survival and almost certainly no chance of getting back home for a second go.

Hve you seen the price though?  Nigh on 60 notes.  Much as I'd like one, no.  Not paying it.

Fly stuff has always been on the pricy side, but they're WAY OTT...........
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

That's  ridiculous, I would have  liked one of those  but at about 3 times the price  of an airfix one, if you can find one of  course........Nah

I'm with Chrisonord on his judgement there. That looks VERY good in that scheme. For some reason roundels seem to suit it.  :thumbsup:
