Old Buckaroo Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Awesome - this is one you hardly ever see. Hard to find and not a easy kit to build. Fantastic work Phil - a great addition to the collection. Such a unique aircraft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philo426 Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 yes it is esoteric but real nevertheless.The Russians flew it in '46. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 If there's one thing I like it's unusual aircraft like this one which is nicely represented here. Alot of the Luft 46 stuff was "out there" but there were some good ideas floating around in all of those concept planes and subsequently real planes such as this. Thumbs up on the build and something different Phillip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philo426 Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 Sure!i like the fact it was actually flown and the test pilots gave it favorable marks for flying nicely despite the radically forward raked wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those guys had a knack for technology and radical aircraft concepts and some, like this one, were flown. Another bird, the Ho-229, was also flown. Someday I'll get a 48th scale version of that plane to build.....................as soon as I find a place to display it. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
