Hi all this is a GB I have just finished  on another forum what do you think I am not really pleased with it the colour i tried so spray over the black shows on the foil but seems to just keep getting soaked up by the black and (its supposed to be a spaceship but it still looks like a plane to me).

From what I can see I like it, but the cammo is a bit too good! It blends in too well with your background images for me to get a good read on the form!

The front end looks like it was sourced from an armored car kit  of some kind, but beyond that ( and the Hs 293, which could have three or four different origins these days...) I'm in the dark...

Looks like most of a Heinkel He 177 for the wings & main fuselage. ???

With a less likely suspect being about 2/3rds of a B-24 wing & the mid-section of the fuselage of same. :-\

The nose is a total mystery. :icon_crap:

You are correct although there is no other plane involved but there was a German halftrack involved
