Great stuff!

Thank you very much.

There are more....
The first pair of plates are as the original P250 presented to the RLM.
The design was thought to show promise but the RLM noted some areas that it thought would be of some benefit.
So the second plates are my interpretation of the RLMs points using other Focke Wulf design features.

You said it! That P.250 'Yellow 8' is my fav though

Again many thanks.
And again a few more Fws.

Wow! I especially like the Entwurf II with 'tiger stripes' on aluminum -- shades of Sabres to come!

Good morning.
It's amazing just how many post war aircraft of all Nations seem to have more than a passing similarity to these projects.

Indeed! It's amazing how similar the Fw 3 x 1000C looks to a few post-war Republic projects.

Hi Empty Handed
I agree.
Even our beloved 'Vulcan' looks like it might have been influenced by some of the WW2 Lippisch designs for example.
Lippisch profiles coming soon BTW.

Work like this is sure to get lots of our imaginations running in high gear!

A little more imagination food...

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #21 on:** January 22, 2012, 05:03:38 PM »

Love the idea of a carrier version. Does anyone know of a kit?

Yes I do.
Unicraft do it as Fw P127 (PTL). Cost around US$30 I think.

Cheers

1/72 unfortunately...for me who prefers 1/48

Flitzer · « **Reply #24 on:** January 23, 2012, 04:09:43 PM »

Ah well, maybe someone will do a 1/48th some day.
Otherwise it looks like a bit of scratch-building.

I think there is a 1/48th of the Flitzer, which has a similar forward fuselage, but a lot of the kit would be 'gash'.
