The Ae 607 was a jet-powered flying wing design conceived by Blohm & Voss in 1945. As it was conceived only shortly before the end of World War II there is not a great deal of available information on it, and for many years it was not included in the known list of late-war Luftwaffe development projects.
This was another of my
All the parts comes on 2 gray sprues, plus one clear one for the canopy. It's very well detailed.
Like most planes this kit also starts with the cockpit and the intake and exhaust ports.
The cockpit gets installed along with the ports and the landing gear bays. Just to be on the safe side I added some Liquid Gravity pellets.
Finally, a small size cockpit that actually fits in it's intended spot...
Trying the top of the fuselage on for size I noticed one big problem. Gluing everything into the bottom, you noticed a curve in the parts. Only when I tried the top on and things not fitting that I realized, yes the interior is curved, but the top is flat! A lot of dremeling ensued. The plastic need to be taken down - a lot, and I went thru in two spots, but thankfully the cockpit tub was thick enough that nothing was seen.
After the dremeling, I took a break and assembled and painted the landing gear and wheels.
The top goes on and the painting starts next time. Thanks for looking.
