(...) The "wooden jet fighter" I think you're talking about is the He162 (Salamander), which *did* fly, however poorly. They even had an Erprobungskommando outfitted with the things, but they were strictly forbidden from engaging enemy aircraft. Or (...) (23 years ago, 13-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) I'm not worried about the engines, actually. Its the annoying sloped nose and the angled body that I've been having trouble with. If you take a look at an Me-262 from the nose, you'll note that the body is almost triangle shaped, sloping into (...) (23 years ago, 13-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Thanks! The nosecone started the whole thing - I was trying to figure out what I could use the 4x4 cone for, when I noticed it matched well with the 2x2 concave slopes. (...) Cool, I'd love to see it when your done. I had given up on doing (...) (23 years ago, 13-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Thanks Lindsay, I appreciate the comments. I was trying to get the wings a bit more accurate by sweeping them slightly, but it was way too flimsy. I might try it again one of these days. (...) Ha, good point :). I guess this one would be the (...) (23 years ago, 13-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Thanks, I appreciate the nice comments. (...) Hmm, not sure yet. German aircraft of that era had a lot of style, which is why I like to model them, but there's a few Allied aircraft I'm thinking of doing. There's a few more German planes I'd (...)

Sorry for the double post. Rendered Instructions and DAT file now available, if anyone is interested. (URL) sure that I made FAR too many steps, but I figure using BrickShelf, people can just skip to what they want to see anyway. Thanks to Jeff Boen (...)

(...) I do admit keeping the wheel design, although without cross bracing like the Sopwith Camel has, and the upper wing is almost identical except above the cockpit. (why change what works best?) The cockpit was also much more difficult because of (...) (23 years ago, 13-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.contests)
