The Island of Misfit Toys.... er... Planes

[GaryG64]

This group build we are wanting something unusual, something like a prototype or a failed project. It seems there are several prototype and/failed in the aircraft category.
All are welcome, of course.
Start date is open now. I'll be able to start mine this Monday or Tuesday.
I have chosen the BV–141. A very strange Greman plane.

There is no pressure and not a contest.

I'll be doing the Mistel if it ever gets here. It was in service but it's an odd duck.

 

[TimM63]

I will be doing the Valom 1/72 XFV-1

Does the Flapjack count? ROFLMAO!
Interesting GB though and am intrigued. I'll have to see what I find at Syrcon 36 next month.

This is going to be bigger than I thought. I decided to add a pilot and ground crew. I don't think I will do the Splinter camouflage like the example attached. I want it a tanish-gray and some weathering.
Although, I have no place to put it once I finish.

That's where I'm at with the Mistel, Gary. It's 1/48 scale so it will be a monster. But my old eyes sure like big kits...lol

I just don't know how that aircraft can actually fly with one propeller, large main wings, half a rudder, and cockpit area in an offset position. It's impossible.

That's what I thought, then I saw an RC of the BV-141 plane and it actually flew!

 

[GaryG64]

I finished the cockpit.

I finished the cockpit.

Where did you find the giant? Send him to CA, I could use him for some spatter.
