It took me a few hours to make somthing reasonable of this little 1/72 PM Model kit. Alltogether it has 11 (!!!) parts and none of them fits the other :)

Still it is the only kit in this scale (AFAIK!)

"My" P13a represents one of thefirst Lippisch planes produced in a large, uderground factory in Bavaria in December 1945.

PM from Turkey.  Says it all, really.

  How did you manage to make that ice cream from horse crap ?   Fantastic.  Simply fantastic.

It is very nice to see a pilot in your model, I had always wondered how such rear cockpits could provide visibility, and imagination was hardly enough. With a man inside a model on the ground, it is more easy to imagine (and be frightened...). Fortunately, WW2 stopped before this December 1945...
[the word "realistic" hurts my heart...]

Luft 46 doesn't float my boat, but I'm a sucker for winter camo  :wub:  :wub:  :wub:

I was thinking of a rear mirrors on both sides, actually. Somthing like you can find in sport cars. It would look good but wouldn't have worked in a real plane :)

Looks cool. I';d love to see more Luft 46, or whiffery in the vein of "imagine if WE copied THEM"...

Imagine: Raspberry Ripple Horten IX.   :wub:
USAF Ta152 in Korean colours.
NASA Lippisch.




Great  model, keep 'em comin!

I suppose you could use a P.13 as a surrogate RAF Gloster P.275? With a little work.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
