Also just finished: the autogiro variant of the Me-109E.

Aw, nice! Great job on that Tom.

Very nice. And quite original too, I might add

Thanks Tom, I thought I was crazy designing a Mustang helicopter

, but your Me 109 autogyro introduces wonderfully my mad creations

. Thanks.

Though

, I fear JMNs

will disapprove a detail in your Web page about this one : "Focke-Wulf 192" production code for a 1940 project is dubious. The Putnam WW2 German aircraft book says that RLM-code 192 was given in 1937 to Ago company (twin-engined communication aircraft for 6 passengers). But What-if historians were wrong ? I agree completely, dreaming is better...

Tophe,

It's allways reasuring when you find out that you're not the only completely crazy person in the world.

Thanks for the heads-up about the 192 number.

When I wrote the text I didn't have my references with me and I planned to check later but I forgot. :dum:
I changed the number in the text to 169, which wasn't assigned according to my references.

Regards,

Tom

Wow, that's _quite_ original.

It could spawn a whole series of similar efforts, though as you note in the article, forward visibility would have been virtually nil.

A fine build, as well. I look forward to seeing your other what-ifs!

Oh, boy!!!!
Wonderful!!!!
Someone gave me a part-started Hobbycraft 1/48th '109E yeasterday, that could appear in this format.....but how about Kriegsmarine??
Superb.

Yeah, that is awesome !

I especially like the early 109 scheme you've chosen !

Great stuff !

Dear Tom Z, may I include the P-51E below in my forthcoming book (Virtual Mustangs - just waiting for TSR-Joe checking), sending you a free copy as reward ?

Tophe · January 05, 2004, 08:56:38 PM

PS. My book is devoted to plane shapes without pilot inside, the canopy being only an eye, so the rotation axis can go though the "seat", no problem...

TomZ · January 06, 2004, 12:11:38 AM

Sure Tophe, no problem. Use all you want.

Tom
