Lippisch P.20N night fighters

[Mig88]

Here are the other two of four Jach 1:144 Lippisch P.20s I built in 2018.

As mentioned with the previous two, apart from scratchbuilding a cockpit and wing probe, I built them OOB. This was a proposed jet-engined development of the Me 163 Komet.

Jach suggests the N1 version has an earlier radar type with nose antlers and the N2 has a dish-type radar. The aerials were etched metal parts.

Both versions have hardpoints and I decided to use different loads, with a pair of drop tanks for the N1 and an assymetric load of a tank and an X-4 missile for the N2.

They were fully painted and varnished by brush.

 

First: Lippisch P.20N1 "Red 4", NJG2, Luftwaffe, 1946 (fictitious).

Thank you for looking.

Cute as ever! I really admire your skills with camo and decals. It seems you not only build in the minuscule 1/144 scale but you also choose the smallest possible subjects... How about a 1/700 collection next?

Ha ha! 1:144 is small enough thank you. Many thanks.
