It is pronounced Va-Ye-Ho

It takes balls to painto those jet engines black, without masking the beautiful paint job on the fuselage. Hats off!

What a beautiful build of a beautiful kit. Now I want to build up a “project paperclip” what-if version with American NACA markings complete with X-plane designation, extended fuselage containing retractable tricycle landing gear “borrowed” from a late WW2 American fighter and extra fuel tankage, all-aluminum wings and what the hell, the rocket engine installed too instead of the RATO bottles. That would be a very American “why not?” thing to do.

Now that is a cool idea 💡

I've now experienced two Das Werk kits in 1/72 scale. Their Great War U9 Uboat, that almost built itself, it was that prescise and now this beauty built by James. Although I haven't built any aircraft kits in years because I ran out of subjects in 1/48, coupled with a narrow interest in WW2 era piston aircraft and airliners up until the beginning of the Jet age. None ever received the stunning detail of the kind seen here. In those days, that high level of authentic detail was unknown to us at the time. We built our models just the way they would have appeared as they rolled out of the factory for the first time.

Well, now we can see where the idea for the Enterprise nacelles came from!

That was my first thought too! It looks like an early version of the A-10 Warthog. It would not be the first case of intellectual property theft of German inventions by American companies. I just remember the Northrop B-2 whose design and idea was copied and stolen from the German Horten Ho 229. Even then, German engineers were decades ahead of the United States. Likewise with space travel, it was the same there. Without German developments and Wernher von Braun, there would probably have been no NASA and the USA would not have landed on the moon today...

The only real common design elements are the dual rear engine nacelles and the tail arrangement. Both aircraft have straight wings because they fly slowly by modern fighter standards. Dual rear engines were iirc first used on an early WW2 Italian recon aircraft. It didn’t catch on much because they were harder to access for maintenance until later. They became more common on civilian airliners and for example the Lear executive jet. That tail arrangement was used by many countries in the interwar period and on WW2 aircraft, British and American bombers in particular. The German aircraft seen here were designed as a fast response interceptor while the A-10 was air infantry support from its inception. If the Germans had thought they could fit this aircraft with swept wings that wouldn’t tear off in flight they would have, for greater speed in its intended role. The A-10 must fly relatively slowly to achieve its mission; swept wings would be a hindrance. If you look at early design sketches of the A-10 you will see several different tail arrangements. The one used was chosen because the vertical tails give better control authority at slower speeds. Just because you see some design elements common to two aircraft from different times does not imply that one is a deliberate derivation of the other. There are definitely some historical cases of that, but I don’t think that this is one of them.

What a different subject and plenty of different techniques to keep the builders interest. Lovely finish, thanks.

An excellent build and video. Forty years ago in my apprenticeship I made a working model scale pulse jet from plans available in a book. I made this aircraft as a control line model for the pulse jet to power. Mine was a single engine design like the V1. I've never seen the twin engine version but it looks really good. I don't think the actual aircraft was ever built but I suspect a twin engine scheme was found somewhere as a basis for this kit. I can't see it being a practical aircraft as pulse jets are not really "throttleable" and I don't think it would be possible to stop and restart them either. You would be continually charging about the sky at max chat.

@@lpjmodels Yes they are terribly noisy. The model pulse jet was like one of those air horns about 2 inches from your ear. Also a really weird sound in flight, nothing like a turbojet engine. Mine either either started or belched fire everywhere. I can see how the engine would work on a V1 where it just takes off and flies as fast as it can to a target but to maneuver where you need throttle control is not possible. I suspect the soviets made one and decided it was not practical as a fighter aircraft.

Great build. Quick observation...the altimeter scale on the instrument panel doesn't appear to be evenly painted. Perhaps you mistakenly painted them in imperial instead of metric. Oh and on the control stick gun trigger...I'm pretty sure the red color you went with is a shade too light. Common mistake, most people won't notice. Otherwise, you know. You did okay. :-) Awesome build. I recently got into RC model boats. I'm watching a lot of model builds to get ideas for weathering and how you cover details.
