Did know not this A/C existed until today.  This is one big bad boy!!






Could be built, maybe. Start with a Ki-64 and ad-lib from then on.

So, 1/43 in paper probably not close enough then  ;D http://cadbest.com/store/en/?sid=8&pid=490&p=2] [url]http://cadbest.com/store/en/?sid=8&pid=490&p=2[/url]

Attached in the Latécoère 299A proof-of-concept aircraft for the Arsenal VB-10. BTW, there was an unbuilt 1944 project for a VB 20 - basically a VB 10 with twin 1,560 hp Jumo 213 engines substituting for the Hispanos: http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=12471.0

Hello all!

FSC Dujin used to produce a kit of this.  I've a copy and it's splendidly done.  It's also long out of production.

Of recent news however, Atsushi Koyanagi has announced that he will be producing a 1/72 Arsenal VB-10 kit in 2018!
