Forssman Giant Triplane

[Flyjunkie]

I have no idea about pre-unit cost of the 1/72 and 1/144 scales of the Forssmann Gregory.. at this early date we must wait until Michael completes the Model, which is going to take time as we try and locate all available information regarding the Poll's design. We want to have the resulting model as accurate to the design as possible.

Is this the Issue Gregory??? Michael found it available on Ebay, so i purchased it for $20..



sure Jose I will start posting all links to online information about the Forssmann Giant.

Yes Lyle, I found the link to the Indiana Jones episode where he deals with the Frossmann..:

Very entertaining Indeedy.. (even with the artistic liberty of changing the wing structure.. )

we progress along slowly, but I assure everyone the end result will be SOOOOOOO WORTH IT..

(then we'll all "harass" WNW to offer the 5.16 foot long wingspan  1/32 scale model of it.. )

  Dean,
That's it my friend and congratulation on your Ebay purchase . A physical copy of the magazine beats the scan copy any day. I really looking forward to watching this project progress. The resulting model should be nothing less than awesome to say the least.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

Progress report from Michael, the basic Fuselage and wings are completed.. we are trying to locate more information and available Photos to "fine Tune" the Details of the wings and fuselage along with the Struts and engine.. Next Michael will work on the Landing gear and it's details, then will move towards the rigging and the camo job...




any feedback is welcomed and i will forward it to Michael... Who keeps telling me how much fun he is having with this...

This Forssman design reminds me of a similar French airplane design... the Bleriot LXVII.

Update for July 3rd.. Michael has about completed the "prototype" for the Forssmann a few more details and such and He will be ready to send a File to a Service Bureau for a price quote on the "Proto Model"...

I like the Human figures for a perspective on how Gigantic this beast would have been....

Yes, but they have to wait until TVAL finishes building the replica.
