Quote from: Wardukw-NZ on January 05, 2023, 10:06:25 AMFlyer I think your on it there mate..I just downloaded the pic as I do use a phone for this net stuff..copying the pic I can enlarge it much more...yup..something in the FW D9 family for sure.
I have a D9 from Tamiya and I'm not going to destroy that as my Ju87 kits are crap  :lol:
But ya never know does ya  :wacko:

 :thumbsup:

And I could be wrong but just looking at the small side profile (also on my phone ;) ) it looks like he has used a F4U Corsair wing also.
Yeah it's got the rounded wing tip like F4U but I only just got a new Tamiya F4U so there's no way I'm parting that out  :lol:
I'd probably mod the 87s wing as it's cranked also and I can keep it more German and I'll save my F4U  :thumbsup:   ;D
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

I quite like that. I have a 1/72 Dakota and Chinook too...

Maybe need to find some (possibly 1/48) A-10 nacelles to use as fan cooled radial engine pods.

I think reshaping the rear fuselage would be the most tricky part...


no, Those are still the DC-3 engine pods.

Fair enough, but I think I was misunderstood. If I were to build a similar design to this I would use A-10 nacelles just for personal taste, I wouldn't be copying the design 100% as I would be borrowing the concept only and building my own version of it. The whole thing is moot anyway as although I like it I don't actually think I will ever get to building it...

Didn't the Marines cobble something like that together & fly it out of Henderson Field during the early days of the Guadalcanal campaign? :unsure:  ;)

Would make a cool build ..easy really and would need to be super pretty cause that isn't.
I've got a P40 and the only available Wildcat model I know off here is Tamiyas one..it's kinda pricey for a little plane..fact it's more expensive than the F4U Corsair is got a while back.
Still tho  :wacko:
