On a small apron a Focke Wulf FW-337 from 10./JG2 Richthofen stands ready to take off to intercept allied B-36 bombers. The FW-337 entered service with Jagdgeschwader 2 in January 1947 as a heavy interceptor. Because of its VTOL capabilities it did not require big airfields and the aircraft of JG2 were dispersed over a wide area. They used small, hardened aprons with a small support staff.

Looks REALLY good, and a very atmospheric background pic as well.  :thumbsup:

I really MUST build my 1/72 Huma Triebflugel one day..............  :banghead: :banghead:
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! :)

I like the Red Skull picture.  I just returned a week ago from Key West, Florida and looked something like that.  Gorgeous model of the airplane.
The Leng Plateau is lovely this time of year

I think I could tell your  and Carmel Attard's models just by looking at the background.

Yes, I know. It's time for a new background.....

- 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.
