                        Huma models are pretty good. Anybody should be able to build one. When I started buying them they came in bags and had lots of flash, but the current issues are boxed and nice and clean.

                        The Revell ar555 is, well, a damn fine Revell kit.

                        Thanks Dan,

                        I'll have to pick it up next time I'm at the hobby shop.

                        nwilliams-I built the Amerika Bomber by Revell about 6 months ago-I don't recall any problems and it builds into a nice looking kit. Rather inexpensive too.

                        Great looking models John. The Luft '46 stuff is so interesting, but I'm glad none of it made it into production. Thanks for sharing.

                        How was the Revell Germany Arado Amerika Bomber to construct? I have been contemplating buying that kit.

                        John,
                        Great collection of models, there.
                        As strange as those designs were (in the mid 40's), there surely is a large number of past (and current) aircraft that proved many of the "weird" design concepts as valid.
                        What an amazing showcase you must have. I'd love to see them all gathered together in one display case.
                        Cheers
                        LeeTree

                        Cheers, LeeTree

                        John-maybe i should try the 1/48, 1/72 is gettin' hard on the old eyes and hands. History Channel has had some Luftwaffe '46 shows on. Seen any? By the way, how are Huma kits-I have some but haven't built any yet.

                        Love your quote!!! :-)

                        John-terrific work, interesting subjects! I've built a few myself-looking forward to getting a 1/72 Triebfluegel. I'm trying some American weirdos too-like the Goblin and Pogo!

                        Like the Arado 555.

                        Currently working on one of those myself, and like you I am not sticking with the colour schemes laid down in the instructioins. The KG200 one, especially looks awful!

                        Cool planes - I especially like the "Triebflugel" and the He-162 with oversized bomb. Gee, and I thought the Me-109 / Ju-88 Mistel was a bizarre combination.
