I know I've been late in posting on a number of topics, so I probably shouldn't be posting in a totally new thread (feel free to throw tomatoes in my direction!). But anyway, recently I discovered a (new to me) fascinating German WW2 airplane and decided I had to build a static model of it. I used to love building static models... lots of good memories, in addition to lots of glued-together fingers and such (admit it, you did it too if you used super glue on static models, and I hated the gooey glue). Now obviously, I hate Nazis and all, etc, etc... but they made some pretty cool airplanes. Between the Allies and the Germans in terms of the coolness of the aircraft designs from WW2 I have to give it to the Germans - in terms of looks and creativity anyway. Probably one of the advantages of the less interesting Allied aircraft designs was that they were probably easier/cheaper to produce. Which was probably a good strategy fighting a war. But check this thing out...how weird is that design?! A prop in the front and a prop in the rear. Here are the different configurations of it they made... So I managed to snag two Tamiya static models... one the DO-335 "Anteater" version, and a bonus Messerschitt Me262: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tamiya-Dornier-Do335A-12-Anteater-Messerschitt-Me262-A-1a-1-48-scale-New-/121982021231 And here is a bonus video of a HUGE R/C version...
