SpitWulf

[tc2324]

....or should that be Focke Fire....

And time for the madness to start again. Heres a quick proof of concept shot of my next build, the SpitWulf.

[beowulf]

that could end up looking very interesting

Neat idea...looks good already ! Glad you called it Spitwulf instead of Wulf Spitzer. Unless you wanted it to hide under your desk....

Had one of these on the go for a while.

Nuts... Oh well, I suppose there will always be crossovers in this kind of model building. I was thinking along the lines that the Germans wanted to improve the speed and turning circle of the 190 and used a captured Spit`s wings for experimentation. I noticed that a C wing was used in your idea while I have an A wing and I`m also using the Spit`s horizontal tail pieces so it might look a little different? Did you ever finish that build by the way?

Great potential here.....might even be able to make the Wurger look a bit less business like......dare I say beautiful......?

It happens! Build whifs long enough and ideas will cross, especially with pretty airplanes like the spit and FW. FW wings on the spit would be cool...

It's pretty much finished bar paint - I have to go over the PSR on the wing joins again, as it's not quite right. It does look pretty cool, especially with the Spit's prop and the 190's spinner and cooling fan. I'll get a photo of it as it is at the moment to show you. I wanted to do Spit tails, but I didn't have any spare (the wing was a leftover from the Airfix Spit Vc). I'd also thought about altering the canopy, to give it a bulged Malcolm hood instead of the 190's flat one. Not sure I'm capable of that though - clear plastic is always brittle, and I'm worried I'd break it.

Anyway, I look forward to seeing this finished - with my very slow pace and stack of in-progress builds, and your super-fast pace, yours is bound to be finished first! Plus mine will be British, so they'll look very different anyway.

Are you sure that's not a Focke-Fire? 

[matrixone]

Great idea, for a long time I have toyed with the idea of putting Ta 152 wings on a late model Spitire (the one with the five blade prop).

Interesting idea - it would look quite similar to the Spiteful, but would confuse people.

[tc2324]

Haven`t had the the time to get into this over the last couple of days but have managed to carefully remove and trim the bits I didn`t need so that I can obtain a reasonable fit.





Of course I have kept the trimmed pieces as they will be handy for the SpitWulf`s brother, the FockeFire........

[tc2324]

Completed most of the major `surgery` today on the SpitWulf and FockeFire so waiting for both to `set` overnight prior to trimming, filling the gaps and shaping to fit.

Going to revisit the wing of the SpitWulf as well because I`ve fitted the radiator underneath I am pretty sure it wouldn`t need it in this guise.

This will be AWESOME

This will be AWESOME

Yeah, what he said!!! 

So what kind of colors are we going to see or is that still classified?
