That is an interesting model.

He has basically taken a second Me262, and modified it into a flying bomb.

That will be pretty big in 1/18.

Not a bad starting price for it, but not really for me. If he gets two people interested in it, could go for significantly more.

I love it !!!

I have wanted to do this mod for a long time.

He did a great job on it !!

[Dauntless]

Wow! I like it.

Very funky, almost a throwback to WW1 biplane

Another of Hitler's secret super weapons? Did they ever try to strap on a V-1 instead?

That is one of the more interesting custom aircraft I've seen. Neat idea and good work on the part of the customizer.

i actually was thinking of making one of those out of a couple of admiral 262's but lost interest in the idea. Jnewboy has actually done quite a good job, looks very good and this is the first and only of his customs that is worth anywhere near the money he is asking. These were never used in combat, btw.

just two ME -262

not to difficult but to take a ME and dismantle to do a bomb its not my stuff, but it is a good job !!

I agree .. only if i had the money

[pickelhaube]

It looks like he has relisted it with a cheaper starting price.

It does look nice.

Talk about an instant diorama.

i'm actually kind of surprised this one didn't sell. I think it's the best thing he's done by far and is really pretty neat.

I agree. And he has used two 1/18 Me262's to make this. So a pretty reasonable price, IMO.

[aferguson]

the biggest problem with it is the take off dolly is way too small.
