Nice WIP. I will be following as well.  Since the kit came with airfield equipment/vehicles, are you planning on completing this as a dio to portray all the pieces.  Would love to see this as such!

On the bench: Revell 1/32nd Junkers JU-88 A1

I have the interior finished . The pilot , The manual has him all blackout with brown helmet .

I have the fuselage glued together. I did have glue problem. when I clamp the rear down , some glue leak out ran down to clamp foot , This caused imprint . I will post photo later .  

Enjoy

Nice!  Im quite sure this 1/48 kit is smaller than a 1/72 F-14.

I have the cockpit paint. German grey color . Had hard time getting this color to show . sorry

The IP had no detail . I add little white on the dials . Then clear coated the pit  and applied little little brown wash .

The camera had hard time focusing on  small part

Enjoy

It was a German project that never made it past the drawing board. It had a lot of influance on post war designs. It has been noted how similar the design is to the MiG 15 but the Russians of course deny it had any influance. The American F-86 also shares some of its charactristics. Those weapons under the wings are X-4 wire gudd Air to Air missiles. There are some claims that this saw some use at the end of the war, but no evidance for it.

I'm guessing this is the AmTech kit re-boxed by Tamiya, with the Kettenkrad thrown in. Looking forward to seeing this built!

This does look like one to follow. I am a bit of a Luft 46 fan as well so will be following along.

This would have gone nicely into the 46 GB, but good to see your doing a thread on it.
