G'day Normandy

Sadly of those only the Go-229 (Ho IX) ever flew of the drawing board and then this was still an A-0 prototype which was crashed when the test pilot ignored the Horten brother’s instructions and attempted to turn a ground running trial into a test flight. Granted there where some ½ dozen other A-0s close to completion when the US troops overran the production facility but none of these where flight worthy.

That being said I'd love a 1/18th Go-229 and from a tooling point of view it would have to be one of the simplest models any of the big three could attempt to make, bring it on.....

I love the Luft 46 stuff but lets get the real things like a He-162 Salamander out of the way first!

I just got some intel on this subject from Roy. I was passing by and I saw him laying in the gutter with a 5 day old beard smelling of Rye. I stood him up cleaned him off a little and asked him " hey Roy what will the next WW2 German plane be ?" He was still a little grogy but he told me . Another P-51 but with German markings. After all they did patch alot of them up and make them air worthy.
So we can now all sleep tonight. :twisted:

There was also that Movie about P-47 pilots that used P-51s to represent Bf-109s :wink:

Me-110 would be sweet... But anything that isn't a repaint or a variation on something we already have (like the Me-262 nightfighter) would be awesome. Although with the B-25 planned, we DO need a German bomber like the Junkers. Verdammt, es ist endlich Zeit! ;)

I would love to see twin engine releases, but my guess is that 21C may be concerned over the Avenger sales.

I am making an assumption but they seemed to go straight to clearance at WM, which is probably their bread and butter sales. Online companies are probably just a fraction of their income.

Any thoughts TKO?

According to a couple of optimistic fellows on here we should be seeing a twin-engine Jet at WM shortly, and for the low-price of $40 even though it comes in a large box like the Avenger. Hopefully optimism trumps realism, but somehow I doubt it..

Don't worry if you just bought yours...I highly doubt it will be $40 at WM or anywhere for that matter, so nothing to fret over.

Hey Nrmandy, right from the history's channels secret weapons of the Luftwafle. Actually the Focke-Wulf Fw Ta 183 was produced for the Argentine airforce after the war as thier first jet fighter. It would be acurate to see it in Argentine colors

Would also like to see the Amerika bomber in 1/18
