Model Forum / General / Models / July 2004[Q] V-1 bomb in luft46 designs?
Just got hold of Tamiya's beautiful 1/72 Fiseler V-1 bomb, and I'm thinking of doing something different from the bomb on trolley look. Were there any Luft 46 designs that used the V-1 bomb? >Were there any Luft 46 designs that used the V-1 bomb? IIRC the model is a standard V-1, yes? About the only other way to go is the Fiesler piloted version; the pilot was ostensibly to bail out during the final target run. I can't see how; you'd get sucked into the engine! hth The Keeper (of too much crap) >>Were there any Luft 46 designs that used the V-1 bomb? > >IIRC the model is a standard V-1, yes?

The "Bulletstopper" volume of the "Luftwaffe 1946" comic book shows Daimler-Benz/Focke-Wulf Projekt C superbombers carrying two or more advanced V1 missiles each.

Or just an underside escape hatch? Neither. Swing the canopy sideways (as with the Bf 109) and clamber out). Estimated chance of succesful evacuation 1% during terminal dive on target.

Thank you. The Keeper (of too much crap) > It was done, Hanna Reich test flew some without the warhead. But she didn't bail out--she belly-landed the thing, IIRC. Even if she did jump, that''s not in a terminal dive.

Dragon used to make a Ar 234 B 'huckebak' version with the V-1 carried piggyback on the 4-jet version of the 234.

That and the Fi.103 "Reichenberg" manned variant.

More than just tested - they made several thousand. The plan was, come September 1945 and beyond, to hit the Japanese with something like 2000 JB-1s _per day_, just to keep them on their toes. They were also scheduled to drop anthrax spores and rice blast virus. Total War.

Ah, 1/72? If you mean their 1/48 kit, it is actually a stinker. Inaccurate in almost every detail. > Were there any Luft 46 designs that used the V-1 bomb? Yes, the one with a radioactive silica "dirty bomb" warhead.

Nah, just launched over England and Paris normally. But wait you say - The Germans had been pushed back so that the V-1 could no longer reach England!

Which "luft46" kit was it, a few years back, that had the box art featuring the aircraft attacking a group of B-35's? I would *love* to have a full size print of that artwork.....
