This is 1:72 kit from PM model. Hope you like the pics. This is the first time I tried the aluminum scheme for this Luft 46 plane.

Thanks Wolfgang. I think I read somewhere that the Russian captured the design and came up with the Mig 15 based on it.

Nicely finished, well done!

Yes, I think you're correct about the Soviets capturing the plans and how they influenced the nascent Soviet jet fighter development. We scored a lot of data, too, but both the US and British aircraft manufacturers were pretty far ahead already. What the Soviets got allowed them to catch up, if I remember correctly.

Prost!

Thanks again uksubs. There is a 1:18 kit being made from resin from a very talented collector. He'll offer it pre-assembled, pre-painted
or just the kit to the big scale collectors when it's done. He's predicting it should be ready this year. I'm going to get this kit and do my
own custom camo.\ :smile2:

Thanks Mitch. Glad you like it.

Thanks mate.
I sure do hope TG is going to make another Luft 46 plane in (polystone/resin) like this one. Actually I don't mind any Luft 46 planes will do as long as price is reasonable ^&grin.
