REALLY?!! Right, research time, must find them. Airframes completely agreed, and lucky: yes an he177 would be fantastic. Tamiya is my far my favourite brand so why can't they do it!
I was in a bidding war with some other guys for a Me410, boy it costed a bit, I got it too, wrapped!

Went on the NZ Tamiya website, what a gorgeous kit, none available, so have to get on a waiting list. Immm, will see where else I can find one (TA 183).

Change the insignia and you'd have a Mig-15

It's that empenage - it just look so wrong, making the whole thing look like a cross between an insect and a reptile !

...which is actually bang on Mike! The MiG-15 and predecessors were infact progressive developments of the Ta 183 plans, winning out over the twin jet arrangement of the Me 262.

I have to agree with Terry, it's pretty but-ugly. Now the Me 262 was a real stunner.
