I've already achieved a measure of anticipated controversy with this one !   It was made to be entered in a predominantly AFV comp as a jibe about 5 years ago.  The judges were aware of my folly and played along but, as expected, there was at least one vocal complaint from a pundit ( right in front of me I might add) about "how that never existed". He insisted he be given sufficient time to return with some real aircraft to compete as "his would easily beat that"....   one of the officials requested he lighten up and have a closer look.
Most just looked at it, smirked, and moved on !

Personally, I think it's a real hoot and good for you. :) Are you also going to build a panzer in Luftwaffe guise? A Messerschmitt Bf Mk IV perhaps.  ;D

Thanks, back in the '80s I painted a King Tiger in a USN Ferris scheme...    but I like the idea of a Hellblau PzKpfw VI with mottled schurzen...  hmmm...

That is inspired.  So much whiffery goodness all rolled into one model.

Well, it does give new meaning to the old advertising slogan, "Reach out and touch someone!"

Wow is that some totally outside-the-box thinking!

I'd enjoy watching the pilot use that co-ax gun in a dogfight!

Using the nose of a Ju-52 was sheer genius!

Gentlemen, we are in the presence of some amazing talent!

If I had seen this at a show I would have pulled up a chair and giggled like an idiot for 10 minutes, then given a raspberry to anyone that turned their nose up at it.
