This is the DML 1/72nd scale Mistel 5, which amounts to a Heinkel He 162 Volksjaeger jet fighter mounted and Arado something-or-the-other jet-propelled bomb. I wonder what the guys on the ground thought of that enormous takeoff trolley ripping across the countryside, completely out of control, once the Mistel 5 took off.
The Kettenkrad is Hasegawa; the standing pilot figure is by ICM, I believe. While I'm on the subject of figures, the figures in Hasagawa 1/72nd scale kits are awful. Compare the casual stance of the (presumably somewhat anxious) pilot to the stiff automatons in the Kettenkrad. It's sad.
The "concrete" is the upside-down lid of the box top, contact-cemented to a piece of plywood and painted grey, with expansion joints embossed into the cardboard with a ball point pen.

You don't often see this - very interesting. It makes for a really nice diorama. Good to see someone doing the unusual.
