1:18 scale Japanese Ohka. I have used the following in the raw material build: F-16 Fuel tanks, V-1 Buzz bomb, Me-262, some aluminum pipe, styrene and 2 elevators from a Zero! = one expensive list of parts salvaged from perfectly good aircraft. (I am NEVER doing one of these again!)
As you can see I have been sawing, hacking, gluing and sanding to fuse these parts together into something that half looks like a Japanese Ohka flying bomb. I plan later this coming week to affix the canopy sharpen a few things, add some details and then paint. I have a whole new appreciation for people like VMF, pickelhabue, and others who make scratch build planes. WAY too many hours and skill involved. (I am used to doing repaints in hours) So far I have 2 full days to this point and still expect another 2 days to finish! I think I will commission these kinds of things in the future!
I am going to finish this one quick and get on with my life. LOL
