Hi all...
if you would like to see quite a large range of Luft 46 kits made up...

http://modelingmadness.com/contests/luft46contest/luft46contest.htm

The pics are from a recent Luft 46 competition over on modelling madness.

I'm not sure if it IS recent but I only just stumbled upon it today.

Cheers
Peter

Some real nice models there, but out of interest how many of those planes would have seen service if the war had gone into a 6th year as some of them are very futuristic even by today's standards

The Arado Bomberzerstorer is simply just crazy. Was that really concepted, or is it entirely fictional?

Hi...

Andy
Some would definitely have made it not counting supplies/raw materials etc. But many were inspired designs waiting for the technology to catch up.
But the legacy is that many had strong influences on post-war aircraft.

I think that one was the guy having fun with his spare parts box

Hi Peter!

I think it was an old MM contest... otherwise I would have participated! :-)
These contests are nice as everyone can give it a try, have fun and win some goodies... the only bad side is, when you win, you can't participate to the three following contests... Doh!
