Hi Steffen

It's a pretty good price too.

All the best

Rowan

There is the boxart published at Lcuky and the good thing is ....

Luftwaffe Markings



I see a problem though ... the Luftwaffe machine has 3 large "appendages" under each wing ... here is a cool video on youtube Luftwaffe Euro Hawk test flight

cheers

Steffen

83 cm wingspan???

It doesn't even fit on my shelves

But after the predator, it would be a good addition to the collection

Exactly! We were discussing (Jean-Luc, Marc and me) this on monday and we agreed that there is no choice but to hang it from the ceiling ... I also thought about a display to hang the kit at a wall.

cheers

Steffen

thanks for the video . These machines are both awesome and sinister at the same time - eerily fascinating.
found this this interesting article on their 'pilots' over at esquire.com

We've seen the future and its unmanned

Never realised that US drones over Iraq and Afghanistan are being flown from 'home' ie the 'pilots' are back in the US ! At any one time there can be up to three dozen in the skies over these countries.
Amazing that they don't fly into each other. Apparently more drone pilots are being trained currently than 'real' pilots with the USAF now training the first group of 'non-pilots' to fly these things.
The ground troops even utilise hand-launched drones.
Fascinating article...
