The exaust design....

Yes orion....but it's an "artists view", and artists are not friends with the technology Constraints....i'll use all "german technic possibility" of this period for design this model..

Thank peter...

Comparative view of dimentions...between an Ho 229 V2 and the bomber...

[sagallacci]

Doesn't look bad, but the engine are way too big, or at least out of proportion for Jumo 004s.

 

[gery]

yes..but i work for 1/16 model too..... and if i look the Horten V3 exaust it's ok

 

[gery]

remote controled gun turret shema..and periscope...

Looks very good! What are you using as the 3d modeling program, is that Rhino? What kind of technique? How do you export / import from XFLR5? What are the wing profiles and where did you get them?

 

[Antonio]

What is the aircraft shown in Kanzel Pl.jpg: Ju-188?

 

[Michel Van]

What is the aircraft shown in Kanzel Pl.jpg: Ju-188?

yes that is a Ju-188 cockpit, it has similarities to Horten bomber

 

[gery]

sorry boys it's a JU 388....yes i use rhino for modeling...i dont' export the model for XLFR5..i enter the dimention and the airfoil....

Hi gery, can to tell me what the wing sweep angle you used for your beautiful Horten XVIII work? Am seeing what appears to be different angles in various art (other than yours) Thank you Kevin

If only there was a die cast model of this.

 

[Gwalker18]

Jumo 004 positioning and pilots seats..

Zoom!

 

[Justo Miranda]

My opinion

 

[Gwalker18]

Worthy of a book of its own.

 

[Wurst]

Is there a schematic diagram of the materials used? I assume that the bomber would have been constructed largely from plywood—except, of course, in the high-heat areas.

OK, I draw the line here regarding the far right illustrations name "Fernbomber", you can bomb the cities but leave the non-threatening gentle fern alone, I have to plant my foot down on this one!

Let's hope it's not swept into a ferngully...
