I’ve been concentrating on loser cars and realistic airplanes for a while, so I felt the need to get back to the “What If”-side of my personality! I remember back when Dragon first started issuing kits of some of the Luft ’46 projects; I was hooked! I didn’t even know what these planes were, but the models were super-cool. Sadly, they were also more expensive than I was able to pay at the time. Thank goodness for shows and a nice supply of cheap Luft-46iness!

This is the first of the Dragon Luft ’46 kits I’ve built. I know some people say there are fit issues, but this little guy wasn’t too bad at all! Check it out and let me know what you think. I should have bought the nachtjeager version of this thing when I had the chance!

Nice looking model Adam. Certainly some P.1101 made its way into the Sabre.

Yeah, I know, eh?

It's funny, the Sabre went from straight-winged to swept-winged almost overnight. Weird how that works, eh?

It's a shame Bell couldn't get permission to finish and fly the plane after the war. It would have been neat to see footage of it flying. However, the X-5 is about as close as it gets, so that's something at least!
