Have fun!
Beautiful work. I like it a lot. I have the pre-built version in 1:30 scale with figures from Thomas Gunn and it looks no where near yours.
Wow that looks great! Stunning work Model Maniac!
That’s really cool!
Great job.
Great looking build!
On a side note, there is something odd about “training” to fly a bomb.[*-)]
Lol Reasoned youre right, thats 1 way trip for sure lol.
I didnt even think about that till you said something about it Reasoned.
Really sharp build and nicely finished!
Precisely my first thought: “Why would someone train to fly one of those things?”
My second thought: “HOW do you wash out from that sort of training?”
Nice work, just the same.

The pilots were supposed to bail out before impact with a 1% chance for success!

Here is a little history on the squadron formed to fly them. Nazi kamikazes.
