The idea was to have the 21cm rockets fired into B-17 boxes. The He177 had 33 such rockets. Now this was cool.....

Ted are you indicating your going to do such a model?

[NachtPiloten]

Only five were built, three were destryed during an allied raid, one crashed and the other was tested and never moved to production. Just thought this was just a really neat plane, albeit crazy.

a bit sci-fi, -really dangerous -no doubt, and isn't there a 'k' missing on the letter code? (just kidding around)....

I'll bet if/when they showed it to Adolph he squealed with delight, clapping his hands, etc.

Thanks for the post, Ted ...my guess is you have a whole file on this type of madness(?) (ya-know I'm just nuts enuf to like one of these if you were so inclined, yet, oddly enuf, historically pertinent stuff* is more fun in the long run.):icon29:

*(and IMHO your valuble time better spent)

A desperate measure if ever there was one.
