Airmodel have announced two new 1/72 scale resin Luftwaffe kits. The first is shipping now, while I expect their second release, due soon, should might just be of interest to Flitzer...

looks like a Spit with a bad engine job. Who copied whom? German or S/M?

Hi Puma

There have been a number of claims over the years that R.J. Mitchell was influenced by the Heinkel's elliptical wing when he designed the Spitfire, but most authors say the similarity was just coincidence.

All the best
