DO-335 arrow flying model - Aircraft of World War II

Bracko · 03-20-2007, 05:47 AM

Almost for past three y's I am intending to built a flying model of one of the most extraordinaire German's heavy fighter of WWII. Still, I am on begining. Pls, if anyone have some ideas and advices for this plane - HELP ME!

The whirly bit on the front must rotate in the opposite direction from the whirly bit on the back.

Otherwise the pilot makes a BIG mess on the clear bit in front of himself.

It was a nice looker, a shyte performer, and a complete failure in 1:1 scale.

Have fun making that sucker fly.

I have got to spend some time in NZ and pick up some of this lovely wit.

I read somewhere it wasnt too bad for performance although they have been just speed.

There are lot of probs. It is a quite different to make a standing model, but much constructive (connections, functions ets) to make a real flying model. Have you try it before?

Yeap I have.Unfortunately there are some pics of my Yak-3 flying model only from the past when it was assembling.The Yak and some other models flew quite good, so I had much fun.

Gary Heathcoate sells an excellent kit at 1:6 scale.
