Well it consists of a Combat Models He-177 vac-form fyselage with wings tail and horizontal stabilzers carved from .80 sheet styrene.I carved masters from red oak for the wheel spats and under-chin landing gear mounts and cst them in resin.The engines and Rato rockets were taken from a Hobbycraft Ar-234 kit.

Very nice! how long did it take you? Also I saw your hobbyboss one, that was good too. I was wondering how you go about doing camouflage on the painting. I think I saw someone using silly putty?

The Ju-287 took about 2 months all told to complete.I use a double-action Paasche VL for all of my cammo work and paint it free-hand.
