Modeling a Lippisch DM-1

History
This was an experimental glider of delta configuration. Captured before it was completed, work was finished in Germany under the watchful eye of the Army Air Force, and this aircraft was subsequently flight tested. Presently in storage at the Paul E. Garber Facility.

Saddle up the horses boys, we got us some work ahead!
This here is a new company to me, and I'm sure to most of you too. Looks like a familiar cottage Czech industry product in a color Xeroxed box. Casting is done in the typical tan resin and looks to be a simple kit. I see some photo etched frets for the smaller details, white metal wheel legs along with a some metal rods and wire. Most of the rest of the parts is resin, and some beefy looking things at that! This heres got to be AMC's first attempt at this resin aircraft model stuff. The engineering aspect of the kit should be simple, but it ain't, and here's why.
