Just fantastic Nathan. The video only shows part of the process that goes into a project like this,
there is so much more. Nathan thank you for making the 183, I can't wait to get started on it.

Excellent job. Looking forward to the painting scheme. To me this is one of the most difficult part of the build.

pizzaguy wrote:Looking for thoughts on a Focke Wulf TA-183 Huckebein. I was watching a show on the history channel and seen the 183. Obscure little jet. I've been wanting to cut my teeth on a small project. The Komet seamed to be a natural choice, but I read about it being developed by Merit or Pegasus.
The 1/18 scale would be 21" wing span x 20" length.
I would like to make the kit from fiberglass. Few parts from resin and the gear in metal.
I want to keep it simple. No flashing lights. Non-functioning surfaces. Static gear.
The original 1945 project was terminated before an actual aircraft could be produced, so how does everyone feel about making a plane that didn't really exist?
I haven't looked back threw old threads, so if anyone is planning to build one let me know and I'll look at something else. I don't want to step on toes. At this point it's just a dream. I have nothing invested.

First...That is Fantastic
Second, from some of the different angle shots you can sure see how the leap to the MiG-15 and F-86 happened in such a short time and where they got their shapes!

Well Nathan, you have totally exceeded my expectations!
The first photo looks EXACTLY like the computer generated image I sent you for the camojob template, incredible.
All the detailing is also really well done - including the cockpit.
All said - Absolutely Awesome Job - and thank you again for creating this stunning custom model!

Full kits $290 +sh
Full build $475+sh
I have a full build and two kits to complete. One maybe full build. I would like to do a couple more kits and maybe a full build before I wrap up this project and move onto something else. I would like to get a full build for myself somewhere in there.

Nate:
You did a great job on this just like you did on the Dauntless you made me. Still loving the SBD-5, it turned out so great. I am very glad this project went well for you as well. You will make the people who ordered very happy I am sure.
Hope you are well.
