Title: Dragon's P.1101 - Not quite in time for the War
Post by: Faust on April 06, 2017, 08:01:53 AM

I’ve been concentrating on loser cars and realistic airplanes for a while, so I felt the need to get back to the “What If”-side of my personality! I remember back when Dragon first started issuing kits of some of the Luft ’46 projects; I was hooked! I didn’t even know what these planes were, but the models were super-cool. Sadly, they were also more expensive than I was able to pay at the time. Thank goodness for shows and a nice supply of cheap Luft-46iness!

This is the first of the Dragon Luft ’46 kits I’ve built. I know some people say there are fit issues, but this little guy wasn’t too bad at all! Check it out and let me know what you think. I should have bought the nachtjeager version of this thing when I had the chance!

It looks good! I had the generic version and it was a fiddly kit. Huma had a kit of the real P.1101 (with optional decals to make it as displayed at Bell) but the panel lines didn't line up at all, among other issues.

I have the Valom 1/144 kit, which comes with two P.1101s and two TA-183s.
