Title: First Of Many!
Post by: bluntie on April 13, 2007, 11:48:04 PM

Hi all, found in a box this morning while looking for something else,my very first wiff! i built this when revell first released these 6 or 7 years back.
inspiation at the time was reading about the 'Graff Zeppelin' aircraftcarrier.i even had a back story with the D.A.K. seizing Cairo and Alexandria ,Graff Zeppelin and the resurgent Kreigsmarine then ensuring the flow of oil from the straits of Hormuz to the Suez canal.
I was never realy happy with the wingfold and the bomb bay doors went west,so it was consigned to a box and forgotten about for a few years,if i can find another one i would'nt mind doing one again

Nice one - always been one of my favourite kits of "Revel's Luft 46" period. You can still sometimes pick them up here in the UK and the Special Hobby one is still available at shows sometimes. You never know, now they've re-released the Gotha/Horten we may see some more re-issues ?

Nice work, Bluntie ! Looks great in those colours....and maybe you could just cram some kind of oversize bomb or a bouncer or something in the bomb bay ?

I love it!!!

A pity about the bomb bay doors. I like the camo, and the wingfold doesn't look bad at all to me. the decaling is very attractive.
