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

Getting the wings and cockpit attached to the fuselage.

Why did Germany have so many odd planes, such as this one, BV-141?

Got the wings on. Several gaps on the wings and fuselages.
I'm not going to sweat it though... just having fun with my brothers here.

My VFX-1 has ended up in the trash. There are too many good kits out there for me to get frustrated trying to build a crap kit.
I will try to find a different aircraft to build.

That's a shame. But, yes, too many good kits out there to build.

Yeah, that looked more like a puzzle than a kit.

My kit finally arrived today. Should start on it this weekend.

 

[GaryG64]

One down five to go. I still need to touch-up his face.

We will see how it goes. Could be hammer time!!

Well too bad but did you at least build the trash can model so you have a can to toss it in LOL

No such thing as flying that with one engine, anything goes wrong you get to watch your way back to earth in a bad way.

Strange concept.

I think the BV-141 was a recon plane, it did have 2 machine guns and that was all.

I started the decals last night and finished this afternoon.

The decals for this kit are somewhat fragile. The letters i.e. G, K, & H are completely cut out which were a little difficult for me as a G and K tore. I did my best to match-up the torn portions of these letters. I'll need to patch some of the areas with black paint.
