RE: Let's See Your Luftwaffe Birds!!!
Yes I have kit that has a fiberglass fuse and built up wing and tail. My drawings, wing was designed around the Sierra gear ,tail wheel and Sierra Fw 190 wheels. The wheels I used here are my own home made wheels but used the Seirra in construction of the wing. Sierra also has a spinner for it. You can always go to my website for more info.... tysplanes.com
specs:
33lbs
Q-65 GT-80 would be perfect.
103" wingspan

Here is my latest. While not a "True" German Bird, they did steal it and use it during the war to train their pilots on how they handled.
This Republic P-47D was one of two used for training experienced german pilots how U.S. aircraft responded during engagements. This Aircraft also had its belly painted yellow so the german anti aircraft crews would not shoot them down while flying. The 2nd Staffel had special groups that would disperse to the scene of a downed U.S. plane to recover fuel and parts to keep These"Birds" flying(which was by all means no easy task, US fighters often straithed there downed planes). This Thunderbolt was re-captured by U.S. troops in Gottinggen during late 1944. The aircraft was abandoned by retreating Luftwaffe when it devoleped mechanical problems and could not be flown out!

Here's pics of my Ziroli Stuka. I'm currently in the process of building a Top Flite Giant P-47 that has the captured scheme planned for it. While it's not finished yet, here's a pic of that as well. The Jug currently sports 17715 rivets and a couple hundred Dzus fasteners, a scratch built cockpit also helps add a more realistic flair.

But who's counting then right Tim?
Can't wait to see her in color. You'll do her up right.

I have not made a firm decision of which captured scheme this model will sport but I've been leaning towards the one you see previously in this thread.

Here's mine next to my "Speed Demon" Seagull Extra 260. I took the picture last Sunday... now my Fokker is on my ceiling waiting for next year events. My build and comments about the plane was posted in the ARF Hanger 9 Fokker DVII Forum here at RCU.

RE: Let's See Your Luftwaffe Birds!!!
Thanks Tim! Yeah, mostly that's it. I used the wing you built so well on the fuse I had here before...which I think is a Saxton fuse..as it already had the fin and panel lines molded in it, and the formers and firewall installed. With some focus it didn't take too long to finish out. The stab was also a nicely molded glass piece rather than the foam core standard in the Holman kit. I hope it takes less nose weight with this. It's going to need more than I've already added...about a pound. I don't have a weight on it yet, but it doesn't feel "heavy" at all...yet.

Ram-Bro,
The super 80 is pulling the 41lbs with authority. Had it out at Warbirds Over Atlanta and WO South Carolina the last two weekends. I believe it has a 26x10 zinger on it at the moment. May go back to the Solo prop now that blades are available again.

RE: Let's See Your Luftwaffe Birds!!!
Appreciate the comps Tony. Thanks. Unfortunately, can't really do much more on them until I get my new 2.4 module and two more matching rx's, as I'm the process of changing over, and my module won't be in until next week probably. I'll try to get them to the field to chase some gremlins afterward though. Same for the 109...just need to adjust the low end still. Haven't found time to even do that.
