Seeking info on various aircraft.

[Flitzer]

Hi all,

I'm collecting any drawings, info or data on the following....


Hs P122
Ar E340
Me 329
Me Zerstorer
Me P1085
Me P1108 lX-117 flying wing.
Me P1108 4 jets
Fw 261
Me P1075
He P1068 . 80
Me P1107/1
Me P1107 lX-122.


I have some info and drawings but more is always welcome. Any help much appreciated.

Looking forward to your new work, but a little sad that you are only planning to do what is mostly "Luft '46" type material...

No more British projects? And what about other countries, too? Ah well, you're the artist after all... whatever inspires you!

Thanks Jens
The Me Zerstorer I'm looking for is a later jet powered one with a forward swept tail-fin or a swept 'T' tail. I think Planet models do a kit of one of the variants.


Skyblazer.
After a lay-off for so long, I need to ease my way back in. I'm having to re-learn some of the techniques. Its amazing how one forgets which button sequence does what .
So to start I'm going the more familiar route. Other countries including British are distinct possibilities for the not too distant future.


Just started cobbling a first visual: Me P1108. A bit rough around the edges at this stage.

Many thanks.

Hi Flitzer!
Great to hear (and see) this good news!! I always liked your renderings. I guess you already have the standard books (eg. Meyer/Schick or the 4 volumes by Nowarra "the german airforce armament [die deutsche Luftrüstung] 1933-45]). The only "new" pictures on this topic I have are stills from short animation films done by Edmund Bohr. (Btw: The books by Bohr are not good, show nothing new and are not even well researched!) So hope it could be helpful...
Regards

Brilliant athpilot.
Many thanks.

Two more rough starters.


This is one of the Me Zerstorers I was thinking of.


And Me P1108 II.


Many thanks

All shaping up pretty well... See? You're not THAT rusty!! ;D

 

[Flitzer]

Ha ha...can't live for long without a project and a can of WD40 for the rusty bits.
(Other rust-breakers and lubricants are available)

Actually this is not a bad idea. I'm still getting stuck in to the next German set, but there are a few other non-German aircraft I'd like to have a go at.
There's quite a few Swiss post war projects for a start. And, you don't tend to see much of these in the way of illustrated profiles, so they could be nice to do.


If anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears.

"If anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears."
Hmm my wishlist is long ;D First to the German part: How about the vtol and helicopter projects? And there are the russian projects which you also "don't tend to see much of these in the way of illustrated profiles". And finally I like the italian concept planes (until 1945) too. They had great things on their drawingboards...

 

[Flitzer]

Thanks for the suggestions.
I think I'll carry on with the next German set but slip a few others in between.


I fancy doing a profile of the attached Swiss project (picture kindly supplied by Borovik).

Just done initial top view. Any advice on airframe and wing panels/structure please.
Many thanks.
