1/35? Jeepers, that'd be HUGE!  :o

I've got a 1/72 one somewhere, I ought to build it...............

If it's the Huma kit, Kit, then it builds up nicely - and disassembles easily for transport as well. I did mine as a Soviet post war interceptor.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

It is indeed, and thanks for that positive vote for it. My head was thinking of an RAE Farnborough version, with lots of yellow on it, and test flown by Eric Brown of course.  ;)

Which would make 488 types for his logbook.  :thumbsup:

Yeah.  Never been too keen on those things.  They'd have had the same pilot view issues the Salmon did.  However, if used as the basis of a whiff with conventional wings and tails...

Yeah - swept wings with the engines in the roots. Tail empenage of your choice.

Possibilities... but it's the wrong scale for me... for which my wallet is thankful!

There's always "scale-o-rama"! :thumbsup:

Terry Moore built the Arba 1/48th kit as a captured example:
"British ground forces found parts of several Focke Wulf Triebflugels in June 1945.
They were able to assemble 1 non flying example and had it on display of captured
enemy aircraft at the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough, November 1945."

Possibly 
A)  Quartermaster was waiting for a delivery of yellow paint...
or even
B) There was some dispute over exactly where the yellow panels should be painted!

I'll correct both those on my 1/72 model.  ;D

It's shown after reassembly for display, clearly it would have received
the yellow panels while being rebuilt for flight test.

It would also have received 'prototype P's'...

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

D.853 German tractor.  Would be good for punking-up.
