This project, was the precursor of others similar to our days; like the Bell MX-2276, Boeing X-20 Dyna-soar, Mig-105, and the best known shuttle projects of last years.

The "Luftwaffe´s Shuttle" consisted in two stages. The first phase (Muttervögel) was getting that the composite ascend to the stratosphere. The second phase (DFS 469) was dessigned to skip over the upper atmosphere before dropping its payload on a enemy target.

The British have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies ran out for three weeks

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

Wow! :thumbsup:
Dated 1940ies or 1960ies?
And is this pure scratch-building or an available kit for us as well?

The concept was dated on 1930ies. Incredible, right?.
Scratch?; very little. The kit of "son" is of the german manufacturer Bird Models, the DFS 468. I call it "DFS 469" for the horizontal stabilizers of the tail (only modification). The original 468 hasn´t these stabilizers.
The kit of the mother (for this is Muttervögel) is of the french manufacturer Sharkit. I only added fuel deposits on the tips of the wings.

Incredible, yes...
Your additions are good-looking, congratulations, designer!
For the kits, the DFS468 seems not available anymore. The other (the mother) seems this one (but I am not sure as you did not mention this name "Sänger"):

Do you want the kit of DFS 468?. I can see by ebay two available. Respect the name of the mother, in a book i´ve, the original project appears as "LFA Braunschweig Silbervögel".
