Minifig scale replica of one of the first flying wing aircraft powered by jet engines constructed in 1945. It is modeled after the V3 of the aircraft, the only version of the aircraft that still exists today (on display at the Smithsonian). The MOC features fully retractable landing gear and a dual colour scheme. The biggest challenge was trying to get all the angles and shapes as true to the original as possible because there isn't that much source material out there on the web. The original pilot would have worn a pressure suit but sadly Lego hasn't released one of that kind yet so I used the next best thing I could find. If you're interested in getting the instructions for this moc feel free to contact me at brickster.creations@gmail.com Lego Horten HO 229 by legomanijak, on Flickr Lego Horten HO 229 by legomanijak, on Flickr Lego Horten HO 229 by legomanijak, on Flickr Lego Horten HO 229 by legomanijak, on Flickr Lego Horten HO 229 by legomanijak, on Flickr Lego Horten HO 229 by legomanijak, on Flickr

Ju-87 Stuka in Tmimi (Libya) - 1941 by Veynom, on Flickr This small scenery depicts a typical German Ju-87 R/2 (tropical version) in the Tmimi airfield in Libya during summer 1941. Historical photos show that at least 2 planes from the II/St.G 2 unit received this very particular paint scheme and only during summer (and maybe fall) of 1941. Reasons for this paint scheme remain unknown but it appears on multiple photos with 2 different plane markings for sure. I've built this for the "1941" contest of BrickMania. Ju-87 Stuka in Tmimi (Libya) - 1941 by Veynom, on Flickr The model - Junkers Ju-87 Stuka The Stuka is based on BrickMania JU-87 G-2 with quite a lot of modifications: The paint scheme is changed from DBG to tan and dark green. (and believe me, this can be tricky and costly) The nose and propeller are significantly different. The wings angle is slightly higher on my model to match with the real one. The landing gear has been changed (after 20 different trials, at least) Armament has been converted to a 500Kg bomb + fuel tanks under the wings (the bomb drop system is fully functional) Wing tips are different Tail and rear fuselage underwent significant changes to accommodate the paint scheme (and available bricks) The canopy is quite different Markings comes from various 1/32 scale models The bomb loader is custom and looks quite well like the original tool developed specifically for the Stuka The engine crane is classic. A few accessories are spread around, depicting typical working conditions in North-Africa. The Stuka was quite a challenging build, particularly given the limited available parts in tan and dark green. In the end, I like the results even if I think a couple of areas could still be improved. All bricks are 100% Lego except a couple accessories (some crates and 2 machine guns). The Stuka antenna is just a non-Lego black wire. Zoom on the bomb loading tool, developed specifically for the Stuka.

Note 2; No photoshopping was involved. The pictures with the desert background were taken in front of a PC screen with a desert wallpaper being displayed. The desert is actually from Libya of course.
