Eduard He-280

According to the notes on the box there were only 9 of these ever built, so here's mine

The kit itself went together really well, until it came to the decals these just disintegrated on contact with water!! I sprayed some gloss varnish over the rest and managed to hold them together enough to mount.

Painted with Tamiya paints I used BMF to mask the canopy and used the resin interior and PE that came in the box.[ATTACH]71354.IPB[/ATTACH]

This was the main contender against Willi Messerschmitt's Me-262.

It also had terrifically low ground clearance and shock absorbers not quite up to the task.

Shot down by power politics.

A great build Adrian of an interesting subject I found this clip on Youtube of one of it's test flights. The accompanying music is a bit odd but an interesting short film.
