After the 2 week project with the Nightgull i have startet a 1 week build with this single seat jet fighter.

Again it is based on a 1:35 droptank 😆.

The tape on this unfinished build must be 40 years old and it was hard like stone. I have to use the biggest file to get it off.

Create the Cockpit from old parts.

The wings came from a 1:48 kit or something similar, produced in russia 50 years ago.
The poor quality was amazing 😵�💫.

Fitting the shape of the wings with a piece of sheet instead of putty, that give a better connection.

Nice 👍

Reminds me a bit of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caproni_Campini_N.1

[killnoizer]

I am with you about the Caproni 

Fun fact, i always wanted that Caproni as Modell and talked about a Scratch build.

But i found two of the original kits NOS one year ago.

[PR19_Kit]

It wouldn't be one of your models without SOMEthing from an Me 262 in there somewhere. 

Looks VERY promising, specially that nose. 

[Supertom]

Ooof, there's so much to love about this project. I think that massive shiny intake is a stroke of genius right there.

Thank you so much for your kind response.

This is one of a small series of fighters in Richthofen Design, there are some more coming...

[Captain Canada]

Very cool. Defo has that Caproni look to it ! The tank looks like it came from the 1:32 Phantom kit.

[killnoizer]

Yes, it is a Phantom Tank , i am always searching for them and build a lot of stuff with 

[perttime]

Crazy 

I cannot find an engine exhaust??? Is this some sort of a secret suction engine?

[killnoizer]

Hmmm,  yes , you are correct    .
No exhaust 😆
