The Wooksta!

Another shelf queen that never got finished, although it got decalled and vanished before falling apart. Either that or it was a feline related accident.

Anyway, I'm not saying what it is as yet, only that it's one of my fetishes, it fits current thinking and Kit will like it too.

Currently sitting in a washing up bowl with Mr Muscle trying to remove the paint.

Pics will follow at some point soon.

Bulk of paint removed, so some pics are in order.

Yes, I know that wingtip needs rebuilding, but I have plastic card and superglue. What can possibly go wrong?

Can you tell what it is yet?

A Me 151 crossed with a TA 152 ??
Other than those guesses I've no idea  ;D
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

No, but it looks like a modified Ta.152. :unsure:

Given the wingspan, I'm sure Kit will know, though. ;)

I'm pretty sure the 151 had cranked wings or something close to those but the fuselage definitely looks 152 but twin engined .
It's weird and I like it 🙂

With the rearward engine driving a compressor?

- 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.

There was an Fw-190 with a socking great turbo-charger under/behind the cockpit with an equally large intake under the belly as I recall. This looks like a re-hash of that idea with the intakes on the sides.

But with longer wings naturally.  ;D
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! :)

Been hunting Kit and I found the plane tour talking about I.. it's called the F-190 V18 Kanguruh ..has the large intake under the fuselage.
Still no luck finding out what the hell Lee's put up here but I'm bloody certain I've seen it before.
It's like it's a modified BV-155 .

The wingtip is fixed and described, so some reassembly will commence tomorrow.

 The pipes from the exhaust to the turbocharger are back in pace and filled.

The grey filler is old, but as it's still doing it's job, no need to remove it.  The wings are still a bit warped. A nice hot bath and then a trip to the freezer.
