Lars-Owe Paetzold (ButcherBird) sent us some pictures of his latest project: a Fw 190 D-12/V-1 Mistel combination in 1/48 scale. Whatever you call it (Luft'46, What if? or Secret Nazi Weapon of WWII) the photos are stunning!

Stunning stuff Butcherbird!
Apart from the great Mistel composite itself, that hanger is amazing! I thinks there's a second Feature's-worth in there on how you constructed it. Thanks for submitting - and keep 'em coming!

All the best

Hello, Lars,
WOW!!!..... Fantastic job!!.... I'm amazed about the accuracy of the entire model. And good the election of a different mother aircraft, as the 190 D-12.
Congratulations for your excellent modeling work!!
