Me 262 heavy racecar

[zenrat]

I have a part started 262 based three wheeler close to my bench.  I'll have to pick it back up when the current GB is over.

Great looking build & photos

I can just imagine that doing some test runs down the AVUS.

And I bet I could have heard it from my apartment in Hohenzollerndamm too! And that's 2.5 miles away!

Hey PR19 , when did you live at the Reichshauptstadt  ?

Hey PR19 , when did you live at the Reichshauptstadt  ? 

That was in 1978, back in the days of the Wall.

I've just had a thought! (I know: Scary! Right? )


This is described as a "Heavy Race Car", which kind of implies a "Light Race Car" category, &, possibly, a "Super-Light" category, & the potential for "Ultra-Light", "Super-Heavy", "Max" & "Super-Max" race car categories.

Which begs the questions;

So, how are these categories determined?

Do they all use the same engines?

Does each class use the same engines?

Do the teams use different engines but must comply with a maximum power output?

What are the weight limits for each class?


It's enough to keep a lad up at night!

.... and what kind of races are they? This racecar has a track and a couple of wheels. Where does that work? Also, looks as if there could still be guns in its nose. A Crimson Skies type of race but on the ground?

If you can ad the factors of changing atmosphere and gravity  by global  and galactic circumstances  ,
that could be a very interesting discussion ! 

But we can simplify that ,  and take better use of our time .
  Just like the different versions of Formula 1 race cars over the decades , or boat types of great ocean races  ,
if you feel invited let's start a easy thread for racing  things like that , build them and invent the specific class of your build ? 

The first race tanks of my modell range were used right after the end of war , as the classic race tracks were destroyed by the war and the use of standard racing cars was not useful ...

And today I received a new ( old ) 262 kit in 1:48 , and it got a single jet engine within the box . That wouldn't become a plane !

I do like "No 12's" colour scheme in particular
