Now that's kitbashing!

This build became a little battle , the original Stuka configuration went into a perfect Tailsitter, even with a lot of weight in the front.
So the main gear is moved backwards, what resulted in loose of height. But i need that for the props to keep them away from the ground !!
Added some bomb bases from a 262 , i got dozens of them left from my builds

Sadly i loose space for the pilot in the front, needs some surgery on him later ...

Glueing the wheels in was a Nightmare , at this crappy old kit someone decided to give different holes to the wheels on every side to keep them in right direction , i took it wrong so nothing came together and glue was all around the outside of the housing . Sanding again ....

Now it looks very authentic to me , stand well .

Der STACHEL .

Oh goody, another mid-propped aircraft!

Do they rotate?

Hello PR19 ,i got that plan since some months , and now i try it ... got the Stuka wings some days ago , could change a Fiesler Storch with a friend for the Stuka ...

I will place a link to your Project :

But my props did not rotate , in my speed build modus that special is not a option ...

If I were that pilot I'd be puking in 5 minutes! There better be a drain in the bottom of that canopy/windscreen/windshield/whatever!
Poor guy!
He better eat peanut butter for breakfast. Tastes the same coming up as going down.....

Seriously, awesome idea!

These pilots are hard trained and well educated German special forces from the elite of the hitlerjugend , raised into the SS strong as Kruppsteel .

Yesterday night work went well , basic paint with the phantastic chrome effect, my favorite primer !

Olive camo could be made one hour later , it is all 1 component rattle can .
