 :cheers: chaps.

Got this one finished now with just a few minor kinks to iron out, then it`s on to the backstory and diorama pictures.

So just to clarify what bits were used in this 1/48 scale kitbash model.....,

Cockpit interior
1. 1/72 Pucarra u/c leg for the joystick
2. 1/48 Meteor seat
3. 1/48 P-38 dashboard

Airframe
1. 1/72 Fw 154 fuselage
2. 1/72 Pucarra outer wings
3. 1/72 Ju 87 elevators
4. Scratch built skid from sprue
5. Enlarged fuel tank from 1/72 Buccaneer bomb bay
6. Rocket exhaust from 1/72 Jet Provost

Weapons
1. 1/72 Fw 190 machine guns
2. 1/48 P-38 rocket packs

Launch Dolley
1. Scratch built main frame from sprue
2. Stabalizers made from 1/72 Lancaster engine parts
3. Wheels from 1/48 P-38
4. Booster rockets from 1/72 Harriers SNEB pods
5. Parachute housing from 1/72 Buccaneer bomb
6. Fitted parachute made from masking tape

Think that pretty much covers it. :wacko:

First and second pictures are of the aircraft fitted on launch dolley and fully armed, while pictire three shows the aircraft after the mission and landed safely. Picture four shows the aircraft ready to be loaded onto a new dolley ready for the next mission.
