Great. A paper tilt-rotor, just what we need. All the actual helicopters out there that have not been kitted and they come up with this?

Well I had my concerns on this company, which I will never buy from btw. Publishing such a kit on Armorama, ok its modeling, but, to do so, create a well defined area for this with CAPITOLS, THIS is WHAT IF, or better SCIENCE FICTION.
To think ahead, if this site is in its new set up and a younger public see this, in maybe 10 years after, or more? There might be someone missing to explain that this is totally rubbish having German WWII markings, maybe Russian, English, etc.
They give it fancy names, with references that simply do not exist in real history.

Robert, not sure if you know, but there are modellers that are interested with Luft 46 subjects and this definitely falls into that bracket [as mentioned in the report]. So not quite sure what your getting so upset about, but everyone entitled to their views

Not upset at all. Just can not understand the 'what if'.

I saw drawings, which showed the wing started with the propellors facing downward and the aircrfat 'pushed' itself off the ground before tilting!!
