1/35th Fi-103R V-1

[Radleigh]

Hi guys, I believe this is my first build here in the gallery. Took 3 weeks start to finish, nice kits to build... the kit sort of falls together but the locating pins are quick thick and the holes need widening, other than that and a gap between fuselage/wing, it was a joy to build.

I will be starting the RF-4 trainer in the new few days, so I will post that up if there is any interest. Same kit but with a longer nose to house another person.

Thanks for looking.

Hi Buddy

Smart piece of work there

I never knew there was a piloted version of the V1

Cheers Patrick.

There was, and also this a trainer that is hitting the bench as said. Although I don't think the piloted versions were about long as it wasn't Germanys way of doing things. Interesting though!

Hope you don't mind me crashing this thread, but here's a shot of an Fi-103 at Lashenden (now Headcorn) back in the summer of 1986. I don't think the engine was actually running

The airframe was still in situ back in 2014

Last time I was at Headcorn/ Lashenden the V1 was off being restored, might be back by now.
