• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

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

And more rockets would be fun!!

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

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)
