 Not a curve in sight! Should be fairly easy to model, just cut sheet styrene into the right sized shapes and start glueing!  

Bloody lovely artwork too.

Didn't Unicraft or someone make one of those in resin?

Nice model!

   

[Tophe]

Most of all: the sunset photograph is LOVELY  embodying aircraft beauty...

Great model in "old style" stealth ...
 

lovely sunset!!

I think the shade is off a little....get it? Lamp Shade?    I crack myself up  


OK seriously, I think this is a cool aircraft, you did a nice job with the renderings.

I have been tempted to order the resin kit myself!

Thanks for the comments, chaps!

The sunset was about the most lurid in the Bryce settings.

This projects rocks! I just couldn't imagine that the Germans were so advanced in Stealth research in the 80's.
Now, something have to be done
Why not an "early stealth" group build including
- Hopeless Diamond
- Have Blue
- F-117
- Lampyridae

Hobbes,

I used those images as references when making the model, but I couldn't figure out where I got them from.  I'll update my page with a link.

I avoided the American cancellation angle,      but another page claimed MBB's involvement in the X-31 EFM Demonstrator was "in exchange" for ceassation of the Lampyridae.

Dude, Sweeet!!!  B)

I bet that that would look Kick A$$ in one of those Luftwaffe special retirement/aniversary schemes!!!
