The Little World

I have decided to please myself and indulge in a little whiffery with this Heinkel aircraft.

Not assigning it to Ruritania or imagining it sold to some other power – I have decided to base it upon continued existence of a German Republic past 1933. Hence the black/white/red tail colours and the naming of the aircraft after one of the WW1 heroes.

The final fit of the components was better than I expected, though the landing gear is a little narrow. The tyres are perfect, though and I am pleased that the windows are reasonable fits.

Would this aircraft benefit from being a Revell product? Probably. But I am realistic enough to realise that they would need a lot of pressure to produce it. I would like to see one of the Condor 200 airliners in the shops, and if one arrives, it will be prized – but again it will serve DRkL rather than anyone else.

With this new thought, I wonder what a German Republican Luftwaffe would look like?
