There's an excellent build over on http://www.helmo.gr/index.php?option=com_deeppockets&task=catContShow&cat=13&id=2060&Itemid=35 (http://www.helmo.gr/index.php?option=com_deeppockets&task=catContShow&cat=13&id=2060&Itemid=35)

Nice model and nice timing: I was just wondering what to do with a decalless Bf109E.... 8)

Very nice !! :) Gives me inspiration to do a similar concept.

Outstanding!

One could even do a GB for it.

Les.. just superb
A GB lf this stuff could be quite surprising

Call it either "Wingless" or perhaps "Grounded".
I've been puttering on and off with doing something like this with the Revell X-15.

I have a wingless Spitfire in 1/48th laying around.......

hmmm.. let's look at the spare parts warehouse and check the 1/48 section - starting with "A" ( A58 )

OK - there's potential there...

Or a P 51B. The razor back types look better.

More car-like.
Speaking of "razor-backs"; P-47 perhaps? ??? ;)

P47 would make a great Ford F 350 dually version1

I couldn't agree more! Les never ceases to amaze me! This one really hits on all cylinders! Love the weathering too!
You know, I've got plans to do something similar with a 1/48 DH-4. A GB for this might not be a bad idea...

Of course one can't forget post WW2 land fighter racing. Was an exciting and creative era in racing.
Love that your models accurately depict two racers with pace fighter in the center. :-*

Yep, magnetic shaped-charges were a major problem for aluminium aircraft doing 350km/h at 15,000 ft. ;)

Those are excellent: well done! :) 8)
