Title: Focke-Wulf P VII "Flitzer"
Post by: daz greenwood on December 17, 2011, 08:30:56 AM
Ok so I managed to get some time at the bench, and managed to finish this. This is the Revell kit of this paper project jet fighter. I added Nav lights from sprue, and whip aerials on the upper and lower fuselage. Painted with Xracrylics. It's in the markings of JG 1 in March 1946.

That's camouflaged so well against your garden path I almost can't see it!  ;D :lol:

Looks good nonetheless, what's the kit like to build?

Thanx guys. I love the late-war Luftwaffe colours. And to build it falls together. And I'll be building a Messerschmitt P1099 in the New Year.

I rather fancy trying to merge a Vampire with a Flitzer, just so the JMNs get confused and start trying to work out where one starts and the other finishes.  ;D :lol: ;)

Already on the case, Kit, albeit as a Venom (what with the swept wing and all).

Oh, dunno about that, it'd be a bit radical, wouldn't it?  ;D

I agree. The only thing I'd say is that it's worth making some plastic rod inserts for the boom/wing joint to make them a bit more rigid.
