Newark show

[The Wooksta!]

As promised, a few pix.

First up, an EF111K based on a very ill fitting Chinese kit in 48th.

[Captain Canada]

Love the 111.....

Thanks for sharing !

Y'know, that SST on the left...the wings on the Jag behind it look just like canards... :ar:

based on a very ill fitting Chinese kit

That wouldn't happen to be from Z...Zh..Zh..Zhen-Defu!? *sniff*

[NARSES2]

Love the 111 and the Me109X looks Japanese ?

[Hobbes]

Meanwhile, up in the competition, Glenn Ashley entered this rather natty Bf 109X in 72nd.  Based on the RS Resins kit.

Are you sure that's a Bf-109? It looks more like an Fw-190 to me (then again, I know how much the Germans experimented, so a Bf-109 with a radial and a bubble canopy isn't entirely impossible)...

Yeap , Wooks knows his Luft 46 very well, plus he would have chatted to Glen about it anyway (BTW Glen is the guy who owns the 1/72 vacform C-5 Galaxy moulds - but not sure if its currently in production or not).

Yep, it's a Bf-109X.  Something of Messerschmitt's reaction to the Fw-190 and documented several places; if I remember correctly, first prototype had a P&W engine, second had a BMW engine.  It was no where near as good and was abandoned.  I do think I'd love to see that bubble canopy on a regular Bf-109 or, for a real "what-if", a Me-109TL.
