[Tophe]

I like it!

[NARSES2]

Now that's interesting

thanks !

the wing floats from the 1/350 SH-5 were not left unused : the now adorn this Me163
which take off on wheel, and comes back on water using the hull from the shape of its fuselage,
and the side floats for stability :





it is a 1/72 Heller kit, with the tractor

And no doubt generating LOTS of steam on touch down! 

[Tophe]

This is surprising, but that means (for a what-if model) this is good!

thnaks ! 

touch down can be done with the engine off, as a glider

Very true, as was the landplane, but the exhaust area is still going to be pretty hot I'm sure.

tea temperature

not quite so whiff, but for the livery of course, and anyway the looks of the He119 make it a near-whiff :

[Tophe]

Good!

If you authorize me, I will Photopaint it into a whiff He-119Z, may I?

[PR19_Kit]

I've always liked the 119, weirdness personified. But I'm not sure I'd have wanted to fly one with the propshaft about 6" from my shoulder! 

Who does the kit for that please?

[ericr]

thanks !

you are more than welcome

Valom, in plastic (much easier that the resin of Planet Models ...)

Thanks! So here is the He-119Z, rather similar to the He-111Z but less powered:
