Trying to repair my wrecked JU-287

Took a tumble awhile ago and I am just trying to get it back together…

I can’t comment on the model but your bench is in perfect order. It’s even more unorganized than mine. If your like me I bet you know exactly where everything is and goes.

My perpetual mess lol!

AHA ! Betchya can find stuff when no one else can. Especially if theirs is a “place for everything and everything in it’s place”

When i clean it up I can’t find anything!

OMG, is that 1/48 scale? A vac kit?

Yes the fuselage is a Combat Models HE177 the wings are scratch built and the engines are from an AR 234 kit.

Coming along…

Since it has a rather unique profile,I decided to hang it on a guitar holder…

I carved red oak masters and resin cast the landing gear parts.

Looks like you’ve got things under control now. Great to see you save such a weird and unique aircraft. [Y]

It flew too and it was captured in flight on USAAF gun camera footage.

That is a HANDY MAN work bench. I like it [8-|]

  1. Yep;lol

And post-war the Soviets actually tested the V2 and/or V3 prototypes, the ones with the purpose-built fuselages with retractable landing gear.

All true!
