1/32nd Scale He 1078a
Posted by dmaastr on Wednesday, February 6, 2013 8:02 AM

I'm really interested in the Luft 46 aircraft.  Some of the aircraft depicted have been modeled but usually in 1/72nd scale.  I was interested in how some of these designs would look in larger scales.  Here are some pictures of one of my attempts.  The fuselage and main wings are cast from resin, the rudder and stabilizers are made from sheet plastic.  The cockpit, landing gear, canopy and missles are all scratchbuilt.  The wheels, cannon and decals are from spare parts.

Nice build. I'm a Luft 46 fan as well, but in 72nd. Which kit is this one?

This isn't a kit, it's all scratchbuilt (except for the tires and cannon) in 1/32nd scale.

Bloody hell. When you mentioned the resin fuselage, i thought it was bought. It was impressive before, but now i don't know what to say.
