What is the German name for the (bird) swift?

For a swallow it's 'Schwalbenvogel', but it just comes up with 'Schneller' when you try and translate swift, and that's 'quicker'.........

The Revell kit, for all people jack off over it and have it wearing in service markings, is the V-3 prototype. The production version would have had a deeper and smoother, more blended underside.  You have the ideal opportunity here to do so.

I was intending to do something like that to give enough room inside for longer focal length cameras, but where can I find any drawings of the proposed production versions?

[PR19_Kit]

I've added a couple of styrene troughs under the engines to blank off the gaping holes there. With a dap of paint they'll look pretty good I'm sure.

IIRC the Classic publications book on the type does.  An email to Arthur Bentley, who did the drawings and is very amenable to assisting modellers, could give you what you need.  I think he has a website

Browsing between English and German Wikipedia pages, I get Schwalbe for Swallow and Segler for Swift.

Excellent, now we know for sure.

When I did research for mine, I got 'maursegler": Supermarine Maursegler

Mauersegler is the "common swift". There are many other species of swift.

Ah, I KNEW I'd seen 230 somewhere before, darn it.

[Old Wombat]

Horten Ho.267 Segler sounds pretty cool!

[Dizzyfugu]

Looks like a boomerang to me.
