Yeah!  :bow: Very nice result!  :thumbsup:
Cheers,

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

You must have some form of machine which allows you to slow time in your own bubble and when you come out time in the real world has barely moved on ! Only way I can see you get all these done  :blink:

Great creativity
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I think I'm just impatient to get the builds finished (I only have a small time window to get the job done...I'm getting a compressor & airbrush when I retire  ;D) & I'm quite quick with a brush  ;D

ps On this America Bomber, in practice it would never make it, with all the ace allied aircraft about  :tornado: :thumbsup:

Stunning concept and brilliant execution.  I only have one question:  How are the Fi-103s released without damaging the aircraft (especially top turrets)?

Regards,

they are released as gliders and then the engines kick in???..... ;D :cheers:, the concept is from that used on the Arado Ar234C-3

Yep, the engines don't start right at launch...it takes time for the fuel to burn/spool up.

look stunning, nice paint work

another option would be to use one  V-1 from the next scale or two up (or is it down) and have them slung under as  "super nuclear V-1's"?

Missed this thread until it's done.

But the whole thing is exceptionally done!  :thumbsup:

Great idea and well executed!  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

The V1s could be used as decoys: a clockwork direction-changing mechanism and a wire-spool-and-cutter chaff dispenser instead of a warhead would be perfectly within the capabilities of the times. Then with two bomb-aimers, you could guide two He-293s at once...
