That is a great idea. Looks like a natural development ( for the post war Russians

) But really, who knows ? If the war had dragged on, even Hitler would have realized the potential of the Mustang !

Love the colours and markings. The camo looks great. With a few small Germanifications it would really look the part.

Two recently completed on a japanese theme.

Nakajima G8N Renzan and Nakajima G10N Fugaku.

Needs more prop blades.........

But awesome nonetheless!

Very nice.
Scale?

Wow that is a lot of prop blades ! Looks terrific ! Powerful, and scary ! Love the colour combos. I like how you snuck the one pic in, had me scratching my head for a second. Any more pics of that one 'upright' ?

Wonderful model yes!

May I Photoshop it into a Zwilling, for round the World range?

My upside down Nakajima G8N Renzan the correct way up. Hasegawa 1/72nd I thought i`d posted this picture already but not surprised i always seem to miss something off when using the PC especially when doing pictures.

The six engined Nakajima G10N Fugaku is the Fujimi 1/144. I saw this kit in a randomly bought modelling mag and just had to have one. The best price was Hobby Link Japan 3500 yen which at the time translated to just over £20.

Tophe please feel free to photoshop away. Send me a copy when your done.

Renzan looks great. Put US markings on it and you'd have people guessing.

Thanks 'Cyclist! And here is the Dubaru-Fugaku, the real one, after you built the "half-size" little one...

Tophe that`s excellent.

Zenrat the prototype was captured by the americans at the end of the war. It was commented when i showed the model at my club that it looked very like a four engined Martin B-26 Marauder.
