Because I know some folk don't see all the GB threads, but mostly because I am a huge attention whore here is my entry for the Alt Luftwaffe GB. The complete build thread is here

Thanks for posting it here, and congratulations for this uncommon model...

[sotoolslinger]

Thanks Tophe  You definitely know an uncommon model when you see one

That is cool. Let's see, the Antares 262 conversion and is that a T-33 tail section? Are those wing cannons scratch work or maybe from a heavily armed 335? Excellent idea and execution.

[sotoolslinger]

Thanks Swanny
There is no conversion kit used . It is a torn apart 262 with the rocket tail from a 163 grafted on . I resculpted the vertical stabs .Swept the wings back more and added fillets all around.
Oh yeah the wing cannons are just 1/48 drop tanks that will get the barrels from a couple o 1/35 37 mm flak cannon as this is a 1/32 scale build

[Swanny]

Ah yes, as I study it closer I can see that those are not Antares engine sets. I am very impressed. 1/32?!? Even more impressive. Your putty and sanding work is something to be envied. That tail still makes me think of a T-33. Overall it has a very dangerous look to it (and stealthy), not something I would want to tangle with.

Thanks Swanny coming from you that is a great compliment I am working on hand painting the sharks mouth on her now.

[Swanny]

Ooo, that's going to be very cool!

[sotoolslinger]

She got a purty mouth



Boy am I glad someone invented paint markers

I like a compact-fighter  This gives an impression of power

The markings and camo really made this neat project come together.  Fantastic job, Sotoolslinger!  I think this is one of my favorite of any of your completed models!

Cheers,

Logan

Excellent work. I find the alternate elevator markings interesting.
