(...) [snippage] (...) I would definitely love to see an Me-262 ... I'm glad to hear that there are some of these in the works! Another one I'd *love* to behold would be a true minifig-scale B-17 (1 stud~1 ft ... I know it's not German, but what a (...) (23 years ago, 13-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) 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)

(...) 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 (...)
