Very Pleasurable because it was the first GB project I finished inside the timeframe......Next is a wing thingy of a Heinkel He-162 prototype.

The pics re-awakened my early love for wing thingy's in large scale. The serial number designates the first one built and the 300 prefix was the Junker factory number. No camo on this prototype and the cannons in the fuselage were dummies. First and only time I tried to recreate a model from an actual picture......The most pleasurable build was my Fz. 105 Styer 2000A generator wagon used to supply the juice for tests and launching V2 rockets. Only the
Tamiya Steyr kit (very modified) and a resin generator kit from Leadwarrior were used. The rest was all scratchy,

I used 13 B/W photos as there are no plans or blueprints for this vehicle to be found and the Gusgofast Guesstimation Measurement System to build it. A year later, new photos surfaced and I have gutted the interior to rebuild it correctly (cabinet where the back seat normally sits, is wrong). Gotta love this hobby!!!......Thanks Mr. Smiff for starting this post.....
Prost
