pvanroy Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Actually, looking at references and photos of the actual aircraft, it seems the only version that can be built accurately from this kit is the single pulsejet machine as constructed for and tested by the Soviets during 1946-47. And even that would still require some modifications (repositioning the horizontal tailplane, extending the central fin forward, reshaping the outer stabilizing fins, and extending the aerodynamic fairing behind the skid).

firefly7 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Thanks for the info & images Pvanroy, much appreciated. However you misunderstood me, i have zero interest in an accurate representation of an experimental a/c. What a want is a Luft46 might have been. So i'm free to paint & build as i want, without the need for any accuracy whatsoever. Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmayhew Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 A bit too Luft 46-y for me I’m afraid so many cool real Luftwaffe things they could have come in with and they choose this it’s a meh from me ericg, CATCplSlade and Rick Griewski 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only issue I see with the kit for that purpose is that the German wartime designs had a completely different skid arrangement, with two small, simple skids, one after the other. Modifying the kit to represent this configuration is possible, but would require a fair amount of work. Of course, you can just assume that an operational Luft46 production version would have used the same design of skid as provided in the kit, and obviously no-one can tell you you're wrong. Personally, I'm more interested in doing the aircraft as it was actually built and flown as it lies at the nexus of my two main interests (Luftwaffe and Soviet/Russian VVS). I hope someone would do a DFS 346 for that same reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True that but Revell did one not long ago and that likely has nixed any chance of another company doing it any time soon. This looks nice though and probably will sell well I am thinking.

firefly7 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Hey Ryan, have you seen the flag of the new U.S. space comand. If you have, does the emblem in the middle remind you of something ? Ryan, Martinnfb and Out2gtcha 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
