Tophe would be proud!

 Nice bit of German maths 188 + 188 = 488, a very cool looking build  ;D  :mellow:  :thumbsup:

Quote from: Wardukw on August 16, 2023, 01:42:27 PMThanks to a German mate of mine I'm picking up a 48th Ju188 next week 😁
And then save some bickkies and buy another 88 of Bungle 😊
Then the thinking begins  :wacko:

Many moons ago a good friend of mine bashed two 188's together to create something 488ish, from Italeri kits, IIRC:

Upper pic is the first incarnation, but it was not fully satisfying (odd fins, simple livery), so that it underwent a renovation (lower picture, WiP).


Damn I like both of those  ;D  ;D
I do like the first one more than the second one..the tails look kinda cool.
I've been having a idea with mine ..but 😆...measurements need to be taken to see if a new layout for certain parts will work out  :wacko:
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 .

The tall tail was the original configuration, but it looked rather unbalanced so that the tips were clipped - IMHO a good move. Not certain if this build was ever finished, though.

Wow! that is fantastic and I agree that the 3 float idea sounds crazy, but turned out so well. Great job.
