Hey all,
I was looking at all of the planes on
Luft '46 and I was wondering what all of your favourite planes are.
My favourites include the Ta 163 Huckebien (not on Luft '46), and the BV P.212.03.

pv 111 and me1090. a non-symmetrical aircraft rocks the foundations of my rudimentary understanding of aircraft, and the modular Me is simply insane.
What is your major malfunction?

There are so many...lol.
But I do like the Me P1112, and the tailless stuff.
If you have not visited Dan Johnson's

Make sure you make a big mug of coffee or tea before you start, as you'll be away for quite a while, there is so much to see.

Focke-Wulf Triebflugel. Just because it's so crazy. I've been searching for a good kit but the only one I've found is resin.

Hi Druid,
if you don't mind 1/72nd, Huma of Germany do the Triebflugel.
Hannants, Squadron and Great Models usually have it in stock.

Focke Wulf Ta-183 Huckebien

If anybody here has any of Microsoft's Flight Simulator's (FS 2004, FS 2002, FS 2000, CFS3 and CFS2), there are a few Luft '46 aircraft floating around on the web that will work in those sims.

Thanks for the tips whodini and flitzer. I think I may have the opportunity to visit Hannants on location in January. I'll give it a go then. Before that I still have a Me-163 2-seater in my build queue. And that's after the current project. (:-)

I would have to say the FW Triebflugel or the ME P.1108 they are just to advanced for thier time, at least the Msserschmitt plane is, the Triebflugel is just insane
