I decided the collection was too much Allied aircraft...
and I'd like to see a couple of Axis planes in there.

What kid doesn't want a good dog fight?!

So...I give you the first of at least two more Gliders.... Axis Fighters!

I couldn't decide which aircraft to focus on, and the first that popped into my head was an Me109.
...still might do a Messer...it might have been a better choice?

I decided to go with the Focke Wulf 190 because its shorter, fatter, more nose heavy...I thought.
In fact, it turned out to be very tail heavy.
And the wings are narrow (I actually fattened them up a bit).

Oh well, I'm sure with a little experimentation, it can be made to glide.
I really like the artwork and colours...its a great contrast to the other models.
So, I am very happy with the final design...whether it performs as a glider, is another story.

Sorry to those who might be offended by the use of the Swastika...but its historically correct.
I see no reason to swap it out...no insult is intended.
