    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.

    Unusual and definitely a 'what if'.

    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.

    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.

    front fuselage halves and cockpit tub didn´t fit together so well, some sanding was neccessary
