A brill idea, that.  :thumbsup:

The blue one is the earlier moulding, Airfix LOVED that colour styrene for some reason, but it got pretty brittle sometimes.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

It's already starting to look like a real one.

The light blue plastic meant that as a kid I didn't have to paint the underneath.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

While the Dornier bomber is still under heavy construction, a new plane left NöNö Bär's Flugwerft:

A Lufthansa Boeing 247. The German Lufthansa had two of those planes in the 1930s. So not really a What-If, but at least less known one.

The model is a 1:72 William Brothers kit. which seems to be pretty old. The quality was not that good and the resulting model - well I have made better ones  ;D
Painted with Revel Aqua Color and decals are form the spare part box (I think from a Italieri Ju-52)



My complete Lufthansa 1930s collection so far:

It IS pretty old, yes, maybe 30 years old, maybe even more. But it's the only 247 kit there is AFAIK.

No matter how bad the kit you've done a great job on it, looks really smart, nice one.  :thumbsup: :bow:

I have built it around 1974 and it seemed a good kit to me. Still have it, BTW.
Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

I like the Boing.  You can see the family resemblance to the B17.

Work on the Do 218 continues.

The gap on the inner wings has been closed with some plastic sheets, next will be some putty & sanding here


The cockpit has been a bit "pimped" as it was pretty empty


The fuselage has been cut into two parts - it will be made a bit longer. The parts show the idea how long it will be.

Most work was now invested in the wings, to fill the gap resulting from putting two wings together. So a lot of putty&sanding was required. Parts are just stick together for now.



The hull is now cut in two parts, and first preparations to add an additional sections are done. Additionally, I started to work on some other parts which can be seen so far.

I agree. I can't wait to see this one completed.
