That is certainly true. I think next up it’s deciding which decals to use and how, so all in all a pretty easy job by comparison. Oh, and to yourself and everyone else here, Merry Christmas!

And that’s a wrap. The pain in the backside port holes, for want of another word, which are supposed to be what the flight crew use to fly the sucer and aim at other aircraft, (seriously? check the flight deck, look at where the chairs are versus the windows and think how any of this could be managed, especially at speed) have been fitted, the decals applied to what seemed the most logical places and that’s it. I may do a little more on the weathering when I feel like it, but time to move on to the other models that are close to being finished. It turned out okay.

I like it. The wheels though, that would annoy me.
But how did this weird subculture start? Terziski? Friedrich?

It is what it is, when you have it sat on a surface you don’t realise so you soon forget about it. Correcting it would have been a massive job, especially since they support quite a weight. As for where it all started, there were always rumours of experimental aircraft by the German in WW2, with such aircraft as the Horten and such actually flying. The Foo Fighters and lots of paper projects discovered by the Allies made it into literature here and then into models. I guess people are fascinated by the whole what if? theories and designs, and of course the whole mix of fantasy, sci-fi with real life.

Thanks, it wasn’t easy but I’m glad I did it, when you see the size of the model next to the Haunebu 1 I’m painting now you’ll appreciate why it took a while.

I should have been more specific. This German flying saucer thing, what was its genesis?
