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

Neet looking aircraft.

Nice ! That is a very unusual aircraft.

[philo426]

yes it is esoteric but real nevertheless.The Russians flew it in '46.

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!

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.

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
