Hi All
You know I finished on of these recently........
Which left me one of these........
Without a canopy and a nice set of ramjets which I am setting aside for a possible future project.
It came close to going into the Draw of Possibilities, ..................then the brain cells collided.
What if the Russians got the rocket plane to work reliably and started production, then....
What if the factory gets overrun by the Germans including a large number of stored aircraft, and........
What if the Germans decide that the aircraft is still too dangerous to fly safely (this is before the Me163 and before Germany became exceedingly desperate for wonder weapons) , also.......
What if some clever guy suggests turning them into unguided missiles by removing the cockpit, undercarriage and weaponry, then adding a warhead, stabilising Gyro and some rudimentary timers and cutoffs like the V1. But........
What if they decide it needs to be mobile to reduce the chances of it getting destroyed on the ground.
A very tenuous string of events which I'm sure is fatally flawed but this is the basis for this build.
Here's the starting point......
The topdecking has been cut back level with the canopy line and filled with sprue sections and fillered over.
I've acquired a half track and 88mm gun trailer from my old 1970 something stash with the intention of adapting the trailer as the launcher.
The half track has been cut down to the floor line, I intend to build this back up as an armoured command cab.
That's the story so far, more when it happens
