Ummm...the story....ummm
Well.......
I was going to do it Luftwaffe but while look in my decal box I spotted some Hungarian chevrons and with the shape of the wing they just seemed to be the natural chose.........she'll be lt blue overall with a grey upper ish.........

The story
The war ends without Russia staying in Hungary and with some drawings they found in one of the German aircraft factories they start to rebuild their airforce.
Hows that......

Steve
I just think she looks cool  B)

Awsome Steve, truely awsome mate. It looks like the jet/undercart arrangement of the Horton HOXVIIIB Amerika Bomber. Can't wait to see the end result.

oooh, very nice work.  Will look different in Hungarian markings too.

One day I'd like to do one as an RAF plane, in all white nuclear flash.
