It flew too and it was captured in flight on USAAF gun camera footage.

 

And post-war the Soviets actually tested the V2 and/or V3 prototypes, the ones with the purpose-built fuselages with retractable landing gear.

Looks like you've got things under control now. Great to see you save such a weird and unique aircraft. Yes

Yes the fuselage is a Combat Models HE177 the wings are scratch built and the engines are from an AR 234 kit.

AHA ! Betchya can find stuff when no one else can. Especially if theirs is a "place for everything and everything in it's place"

I can't comment on the model but your bench is in perfect order.  It's even more unorganized than mine.  If your like me I bet you know exactly where everything is and goes.
