Great! 

I like the little diorama for it!

[Captain Canada]

Wow. Wow, wow and wow ! What was that the guys used to say about quitting the hobby and taking up knitting ? lol That is unreal. Great work. Love the aeroplane to start with, the shape, the engine, the tip tanks....and your weathering and details are absolutely perfect.

[McColm]

Brilliant.

Excellent! 

Only thing that makes me wonder are the rocket pods - trabsplanted LAU-7s? They look very modern (and so familair US style) on the Luft '46 aircraft? Yes, that's quibbling on a  very high level, but just that detail caught my eye... 

[Sticky Fingers]

That diorama is very nicely done! How did you create the cobbled street look?
The aircraft: superb! Love the wingtip tanks you added

RM4 rockets that were used on a flat rack under the wings of the Me 262 were also being developed for use in pods so the armament would be correct. Fantastic quality of finish too

Superb quality all round

amazing work just stunning  makes me want to do more luft 46 models .... wait i do   

[Librarian]

Your eye for detail is truly striking....I think my favourite part are the leaves blowing onto the apron, balanced by the coloured oil drum and red and white stripes. The crew poses and whole diorama appear so natural. Magnificent...more please .

Holy moly - that is excellent. 
Don't know if i'd trust fuel from those drums though

In 1946 in Germany, you're lucky if you have drums, let alone fuel!   

[martinbayer]

Absolutely breathtaking!

Being a German myself, I think however you give us a little too much credit for being orderly - I don't think in reality all wooden crates would have been perfectly aligned parallel/perpendicular to the runway edges .
