LSP_K2 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I really want a few of these. I see a Kettenkrad pulling a 229 out of the hanger, With a second in the final stages of begging built in the back. The third has to be made flying!!!! Those clean lines I think I have a problem? Just counted how many books I have on this on aircraft ( Six ) Still missing the Monagram one to? Cheers Is it possible to list what those six books are?

LSP_K2 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I had the old Revell Germany bucket wheel excavator once, and loved it, so I must be a born again Einstein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacewolf Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 The beauty of this aircraft is it's inovation and asthetic appeal. Being that it actually did fly but never got into production puts it in that ood position much like the Avro Arrow.. the 'what might have been' scenario. As well, the work ZM has done to duplicate the structure under the skin is stunning...this is a master craftsman effort. Thus it has appeal to everyone who loves aircraft. Beautiful lines, inovative construction, WW II, a jet....it covers all the bases. Build it sans skin and show off the structure.. build it with skin but unpainted, wood, metal and fabric... build it in factory 02 with the wings off on cradles in the hanger.... or in any number of color schemes including captured or foreign markings..... And now they are saying they will have the two seat version as an add on.... This is gonna be a winner !! Vaughn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattlow Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Arthur Bentley does a rather nice set of drawings of this aircraft that may have had a role to play in its design...? Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richdlc Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 beware the Myhra books for technical accuracy - Classic Pubs book is no.1. not claiming to be a Luftwaffe expert, that's just what I've read after researching all of these books whilst selling them Piprm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 ....and the Monogram Close-up! Got it. In fact, I have many of the Monogram books. Mostly, I'm mining information for the references database. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandy 1 VX 4 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Yes Rich beware the Myhra books for technical accuracy not claiming to be a Luftwaffe expert, that's just what I've read after researching all of these books whilst selling them I found a few photos saying it was the V3 version, When it was the V2 version and vise versa. V2 is the one that actually flew. V3 is what is in the Smithsonian just for info for you folks. Same for me on both quotes Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
