No amphibious HE 162.s here

Definitely not a jetpipe, and its not a Swallow.

Hello Zaxis.

The ventral fin was discarded after initial trials, but it certainly looks like the rear-end of the Lockspeiser LDA-01...?

Noyade,
Spot on, I think the undercarriage probably gave it away.
It was a brave attempt at something different, watch the video linked below for more.

You have control.

That's him mate! Your control.
Now tell me -are you really 103 years old as per your profile?

I lopped the guy off at the neck in the "vein" hope you'd think it was enormous. It worked?

Sorry, didn't fall for the kneeling guy. The bomb bay and the nose gear door shapes along with the shallow fuselage gave it away.

Next challenge ...


PS. Not really 103 but well over half of it.
