Thanks. I love this little plane. I got it from evil bay and I think I paid too much money for it but it's worth it imo. I've just got to have it in my Luft 46 collection

The FW design on the right loks like it might have been a promising design. I know Kurt Tank tried to build jets for the Argentines, but failed to get a large contract for his jet fighters.

Wow, what a weird looking machine. I had to search on Google to understand how the Triebflugel worked.

You made a nice and colorful model of it.

I found this nice video on Youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxVWH9mOYGA

Explains very well how the Triebflugel worked.

C Nguyen,
Just an exceptional build of a rare model and type.

Jelger,
Thanks for taking the time to both find that video and share the link on u-tube. I both enjoyed it, and learned quite a lot at the same time. The end of the video sure had its references towards area 51 if one thinks about it.

And here is my collection of Luft 46 planes all in 1/72 ( all built from kits except the Dornier 335 which made by IXO). I've also built few Luft 46 models in 1/48.

Hope you like it
