Being thorough can cause all sorts of extra work ...

Looking forward to watching this develop, Kris, these projects are fascinating!

Cheers,

wow very cool           

[2996 Victor]

Oh, yeah! That's amazing! Roll on pay-day 

[Wardukw]

That is damn cool no matter how ya look at it     

[kerick]

Awesome!! It looks so slick!
I wonder what the interrupter linkage looks like with those contra props!

[Dizzyfugu]

That's looking very good, indeed. 

[SPINNERS]

Astonishing! I suddenly feel that the days of the Airfix Spitfire 'JE-J' are from a very distant past.

I wonder what the interrupter linkage looks like with those contra props!

VERY complicated and equally expensive!

Now and then a shell might even get past the blades...............

Good point about the guns. Some Justo Miranda drawings also show guns at wing roots - and no gun bulges on top of the nose, but still troughs just behind the spinners.

I guess things are a bit speculative with this one anyway. I wonder if any original material shows how the guns are supposed to be.

I see that kits are available.

Amazing looking job

True, but how many of us did JE-J introduce to the hobby ?

As a matter of fact, before making any of these models/ kits I try to find as much primary source material as possible. Even visiting archives. Afterwards I collect the material in blog posts. Here is the one about the FW P.8011.

I usually do not use Miranda et.al.
The CAD is hence based on an original drawing.
This is not ruling out all issues, but it is a pretty good basis.

Fantastic, Kris, I'll be ordering one in 1/48 soon! (Gotta wait for pay-day).
