This was pretty fast and fun project. It is now finished. I also have now a spare BMW 003 engine for my next project...

I'm a bit embarrassed because I just found out that this engine is not Derwent but actually Welland. 👀

That's one well done and eye catching model! Congrats!

By the way, that overall aspect ratio reminds me of some guy that installed a large rocket engine on his motorcycle.

Wow, that's brilliant.

Thanks! The engine does seem ridiculous being so big compared to the airframe and nozzle is comically tiny 😄

Album info

What-if kit-bashing. In this Luft46-scenario Germans have captured a few Gloster Meteors and have used their engines to power He 162. So instead of having one captured fighter they get two fighters. Also He 162 having its production volumes exceed Me 262's it is lacking BMW-engines. A-8-variant (He 162 with a Jumo 004) was one solution for this upcoming problem.
