Nice pic, and you can bet it'll be a decent model too, given MiniArt's recent few years :yes: I would have imagined they'd sell more in 1:32, with it being the larger aircraft scale, but what do I know? :shrug: (SPOILER: not much)

Have to say that I really struggle to understand the interest in/fascination with these 'Luftwaffe 46' subjects.

 

Still, each to their own, I suppose - all I can do is hope that the sales generate enough income for the manufacturers to invest in some new 'real world' subjects! 😀

Well, I guess you could say the same about any subject! I struggle to understand the interest in,/ fascination with cars,motor cycles, endless streams of boring grey jets,Spitfires,Bf-109s etc and every other done to death already WWII subject. But, that's just me!

I Think these kits are every bit as valid as TIE fighters, AT-ATs, Imperial Stormtroopers and every other Sci- Fi/ Fantasy model. 

Personally, I think these fictional subjects are far more interesting than "real world" subjects but, what the hell! You are absolutely right of course, to each their own. Be a boring world if we all agreed !😂

Can anyone explain to me how the pilot gets into the cockpit, especially as some sources refer to it operating from forest clearings?

Maybe Tarzan flew it.

A slow speed flypast by a two seat Me262 and the back seater does a Martin Baker Meteor type ejection and parachutes into the Triebflugel.

Obvious really.

The alternative was a Storch hovering into a headwind but that idea had one or two drawbacks.

Mines arrived. Time for a six week or so summer build now that we have got rid of the students for another summer. Luft 46, something different ah why not!

Hey, Miniart stole my Triebflugel Trop idea 😂. I'm tempted to get another just for the Romanian scheme and the boarding ladder. As a former aircraft mechanic, I would have hated to work on one of these!

Well this just grinds my flipping gears!

 

is it TOO much to ask that they make an accurate model? Boarding ladder my backside. Everyone knows the pilot opened a sliding door in his dads office and  slid down a chute into the cockpit before it was launched through a dummy swimming pool. I mean FFS.

 

better off doing a new tool Mustang (in 1/48 obviously)

 

TT

You can keep your Mustangs!!:lol:. What this kit really needs is a 1/35 figure of the late Eric "Winkle" Brown, in full flying gear, looking up at it and sadly shaking his head!!
