Fliegerhorst is a resin kit manufacturer from Germany mostly known for it's range of 1/48 scale Luft' 46 kits. They have updated their website and the most interesting news is that they are working on a 1/32 scale Dornier Alpha Jet kit.
Fliegerhorst also produce some very interesting vintage airliner kits in 1/72 scale such as the Comet 1 and WW2 Luftwaffe diorama kits in 1/48 scale. Check out their Mercedes-Benz Kfz 384 Fuel truck review here and their Standardbaracke review here.

After several months of silence, they have updated their website lately and the good news is that Herr Kappner made some progress on his Dornier Alpha Jet kit in 1/32 scale. Some pictures are shown here but you can also visit their homepage for more infos: Fliegerhorst homepage.

Needless to say that this kit is anticipated by many French and German modelers as the Alpha Jet is used in both Air Forces. It is also the aircraft used by the "Patrouille de France".

Howdy Jean-Luc, Thx for posting this. Aside from the Alpha Jet {very reminecent of the Harrier}, I really liked the Comet they offer. What is the planned cost for the Alpha? Tread.

Yeah she’s a great little bird, almost Finch like. They would make great shelf displays as they were painted in some of the wildest paint schemes. Very reminecent of the Harrier Yeah she has that Harrier/Phantom look. Joe

Not to start a "flame war" here but, maybe a Bolemic Harrier - a Phantom No. They are very colorful.

Hi Chuck! No flame war... on the picture you've posted it's a Folland Gnat not an Alpha Jet. As for the price of the Fliegerhorst kit, frankly I don't know. I've sent a mail to Herr Kappner but got no answer yet. As soon as I know more I will tell you. Jean-Luc
