Hartmann52 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Good day, colleagues!I would like to present to your attention one more long-standing work. The model in the assembly is quite complicated, a lot of time and effort was spent on the assembly. Then I was away for a long time (15 months of service) - painting my off-line comrade. The result before you Tnarg, Sammy, Out2gtcha and 20 others 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutik Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Really nice one! What a beautiful aircraft. Slim with long legs - someone should paint blond hair on top Regards - dutik Hartmann52 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick K Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 A beautiful build with a challenging kit. Certainly a controversial Luftwaffe aircraft with epic performance with political foreplay keeping this beauty grounded. I have this in my stash and will soon be on my bench. Several reference photos and books show unusual location of the national insignias. Why is the "hooked cross" on the rudder not on tailplane? Why is the balkenkreuz positioned so far inward on upper and lower wing? Is it because of the internal evaporative cooling and header tank configuration?

dennismcc Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 That looks great, I remember reading about this aircraft years ago and liked the look of it. Cheers Dennis Hartmann52 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kensar Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Good job on the model. I was wondering what this kit looks like built up. Hartmann52 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiZac Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 From memory the type lost out to the Bf109 so the Luftwaffe came up with the idea of using it as a Propaganda Fighter - changing markings to make it appear as though the limited number of pre-production aircraft were different squadrons of operational fighters (hence the odd markings) for magazines and possibly films. Brilliant work, what a beautiful photo of a rarely-seen, but very attractive, aircraft. Thank you for sharing! Hartmann52 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Very nice work !! Why is the "hooked cross" on the rudder not on tailplane? Why is the balkenkreuz positioned so far inward on upper and lower wing? Is it because of the internal evaporative cooling and header tank configuration?
