Thanks for the replies, guys! 🙂

Either way it’s in interesting topic, which can be debated endlessly! 😉

Don’t forget though, that the Heinkel He 162 Volksjäger was designed, built, flown and mass-produced in a matter of months! By May 1945 many had been delivered and hundreds were coming off the production lines. An amazing feat given the situation Germany was in by then!
To give some hard facts, the He 162 was designed in September 1944 (based on the P.1073 which was a private paper design project of Heinkel), first fown in December 1944 and by February 1945 over a hundred had been built alread.

Nice one Andrew! 🙂

Thanks guys! Glad you like them!

I’ve got a Lancaster and Anson too if anybody’s interested 😉

Avro Anson Mk.I – N4877

Avro Lancaster Mk.X – KB889

Turbo NZ, that bulge is the enlarged bomb bay. Certain later marks were so equipped.

I know about the scrapbook, but I was personally more interested in the technology behind the B-36 than its colours and unit history etc, so I didn’t buy it. Another reason I didn’t buy it, is that only in December I bought a third bookshelf and that one is already getting cramped. I plan to move home in a couple of months and I am really getting worried!!! It IS possible to have too much reference material… 😮

The B-36 silhouette is an actual 3D model, which unfortunately I never have managed to finish. The engine intakes proved a bit tricky at which point I picked up another project and never managed to finish the poor old B-36. Maybe one day I’ll restart it from scratch, at a much higher detail level too. Openable turret doors and all that. Should be cool in 3D… 😀

That distance is not much worse than most propeller aircraft, but I suppose you’re right. Given the power of these engines it may have been more than a handful.

O yea… I’ve expanded the size comparison a bit… 😀

Hi Oscar,

I’m well aware the depicted formation is rather dodgy, to say the least. I’ve been playing for a long time with the composition, and this one looked best. So I sacrificed a bit of accuracy for something more aesthetically pleasing. Please see the discussion on MustangsMustangs for more on this:

By the way, the two Mustangs are actually slightly diverging in the image (that’s how I set them up in ‘virtual 3D’), so they would be safe 😉

As to your question for artwork, it’s possible 🙂
