MarkYou've got a good eye Robert, for finding kits of the unusual and a very good hand for finishing them so very well. 👍

Robert PodkońskiThank you very much, Simon and Mark, very appreciated 🙂 As far as I remember this was meant only as a smaller proof-of-concept plane.

MarkIt was a 1/3 scale proof of concept - the idea was to fix temporary wings to tanks and tow them as gliders into battle. 😮

Robert PodkońskiThank you, Mark K, very appreciated 🙂
@Mark - Soviets went a bit further with the same idea, you know:
A-40 KT (Amodel 72202, 1:72)
I have this kit in my stash, but - first of all, this is an Amodel offering...enough said 😉 One of my friends finished it actually. As far as I know, Japanese did think about mating wings to a tank, but it remained a paper project only. What fascinates me most, however is Haffner Rotabuggy:

Robert PodkońskiThank you, WhiteGlint... @Mark - yeah, it seems unbelievable. I wonder how the tank's tracks managed after taking off at ca. 110 km/h, while max. speed of the T-60 tank was ca. 45 km/h...

Łukasz GlińskiNice and interesting. However I can spot something happened on DE/DG separation lines 🙁
Consider adding the Natter to this little family? 😉

Robert Podkoński@Łukasz - you are right, for no good reason I decided to mask DE/DG areas separately, instead of giving an overall coat of any of these colours first and then apply masks for the other one (I am a mediocre skilled modeller, but still learning...). First I have to assembly all the incarnations of Me 163 family (from DFS's to Me 263 😉 )

Robert PodkońskiThank you, Skywalker. I am afraid it is long out of production and JACH now makes moulds for Brengun, as far as I know...
