First up thank you Louis for the invite!
At the moment my dad has two 262s in the final stages which I won´t post here anymore, but he is about to start this project...
Usually my dad is no "What If" fan but this kit looks nice, good molding and not that many parts.

Great choice, Reinhard. Unusual and definitely a 'what if'.
This is a fascinating design. I am sure it will be a superb build in your father's expert hands.
I love those "what if" designs ! For sure I will follow , great choise .
Great choice, Reinhard! Looking forward to see a Luft46 Spreitzhofer build!
Reinhard, @grimreaper Thanks for accepting the invitation I sent you. This looks like it will be a very interesting build. The number of Luft 46 subjects that were on paper, shows us just how forward thinking they were. Some of the ideas were downright crazy but there were some that were way ahead of their time.
I will be watching this one very closely. Together, you and your Dad are an unstoppable team.
Great choice, Reinhard (@grimreaper). This plane just looks cool. Can't wait to see your build.
sprues unpacked, starting with the cockpit DSC_0007 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr
Looking great, Reinhard!
Off to a beautiful build, Reinhard.
cockpit tub done, added no futher detail and only used masking tape for the seatbelts DSC_0008 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr

Nice cockpit, Reinhard!
Really nice interior, Reinhard. Great detailing.
Good start! The box art on this model kit really annoys me, as the markings are a direct copy of my 2015 design for Dan Sharp's book on Luftwaffe secret jets. They could've produced something more original or ask my permission at the very least.
2 attached images. Click to enlarge.
