Well fellow modellers I've been away for a while and thought it was about time to stick some bits together. Somewhat inspired by Vaughan's "Salamander" (you know that's going to be good) I dug this kit out from the cupboard as it should be a relatively quick and easy project.
I'm not tempted by the red scheme or the other boring grey prototypes so I'm going to make a camouflaged version of the previously boringly monotone V5 (PK+QP) operated by Erprobungskommando 16 at Bad Zwsichenahn, post Peenemunde and pre Brandis, in the summer of 1944. This not least because there are some decent photos taken at this time to refer to!
Hopefully it will look something like this:
I am toying with the idea of doing an in flight pose, shortly after this!
This will show Lippisch's beautifully designed lines without the skid and tail wheel deployed or the undercarriage dolly attached. I just need to find a suitable pilot and make him look as if he is wearing the protective, synthetic, flight suit
Cheers
