dutik Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Great news: MiniArt, renown for well engineered, highly detailed and affordable military models in 1/35th scale announces a Flettner 282 V-21 Kolibri kit. Scale is 1/35. Well, it is a helo, kind of, so this fits with the general handling of helos by other manufacturers; but main reason is the option for the modellers to combine it with other military kits and gear. Kit number is 41003. Status is "In progress". This is earmarked as "interior kit" by MiniArt - so full engine and gear will be included. Given the great line of T-54 kits rolled out by MiniArt this one will become another wonderful kit.

D Bellis Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 The fact that it is 1/35 scale is a complete letdown. The tank people can have it if they want it. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I have but one book on this craft (this Schiffer volume), and it's certainly an interesting machine, I'll say that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I managed to get some photos in the hour and a half I had last thing this afternoon to finally look around - but give me a few days as we've only just got home - and a huge amount of unpacking to do... Looks a really nice kit - and I can understand the choice of 1:35 from their perspective. Iain scvrobeson and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I'll look forward to seeing more photos, Iain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyT Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) There are 1/18 and 1/16 ones on Shapeways, but are not cheap. http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=51976&page=6 https://www.shapeways.com/product/VTUAS9MD4/1-18-scale-flettner-fl-282-v21-kolibri-model-kit Edited November 14, 2017 by TonyT sandokan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutik Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 BTW, there will be different versions. Airframes V6 and V21 were shown, but there is a single number gap in the kit numbers between both, so there might be a third version too.

John1 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 The fact that it is 1/35 scale is a complete letdown. The tank people can have it if they want it. D That's just the way it is. Like it or not, manufacturers have standardized on 35th scale for helos. Not going to change and on the flip side, if it was 32nd, I wouldn't build it because I only do helos in 35th. Looks like a pretty cool kit, I'll probably go for it. Now if only they can bang out a 35th Huey, life would be good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick_Karatzides Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 (edited) There are 1/18 and 1/16 ones @ TonyT, Thanks for that. Well, I hope you know understand who is behind this Kolibri 3D design. I feel great joy to watch the 3D model becomes (hopefully) popular among scale modelers under 1/35 scale manufactured by MiniArt as an injection molded kit. Thanks MiniArt 1/18 scale Flettner Fl-282 V21 Kolibri model kit (cutaway version) 1/18 scale Flettner Fl-282 V21 Kolibri model kit (standard version) Special thanks to Thomas Mayer for his help to build and present first on public the V21 cutaway alongside my other V6 and V21 prototype models here in LSP forums. Also, special thanks to more than 241 (so far - sales until Nov 25 2017) fellow scale modelers Worldwide, who already purchased the big-sized V6 or V21 Flettner 282 Kolibris cutaway or standard models and honored me with their confidence to my CAD design skills and their great interest on my 3D printed Kolibri model kit. PS. I am sure you 're smiling up there missy Edited November 25, 2017 by Nick_Karatzides Jeff, LSP_K2, Hartmann52 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wurzacher Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Nick, I have to thank YOU for the special pleasure and opportunity to build this amazing kit! I recently had it on show here in Friedrichshafen (home of Dornier) and your work really turned heads! No need to mention that I didn´t stop to mention your shop on Shapeways!
