Those look like prewar prototype paint jobs, alternate history is becoming more popular. Anyone ever seen the comic book "Luftwaffe 1946" ? I'm glad WWII happened when it did, If it had started in 1945 we may all be speaking German, and in the very least there would be very few Russians around.

I don't think Ill paint my first Horton like that but I'm not saying I wont paint one like that!

Hey Spike Dude- grey splinter is the way to go IMO...relatively an easy paint...Decals would be an easy make...looks good my man...Magister et simulacrum you are....

Not the color that I will use but still pretty cool looking. The red 13 came with the 1/48 Dragon kit.

It needs those crazy whacked storm troopin' type pin wheels on the tail feathers. :D

I recently bought a very nice custom Ho 229, done by our very own Hworth. :D

It looks quite similar to this one, but it is much better done. As you would expect from Harry. 8)
