Me P1101....

This is another gem by HUMA, the German company that brings us a lot of rare subjects and out of the commercial main stream kits from the big brands.
This is a very small and simple kit, but good enough to represent the only real example of that revolutionary aircraft, known as Project 1101 by german authorities. This only example was almost ready to begin trial tests when was discovered by American Army abandoned in a hangar.  
We could suspect the immense impact caused in the specialized inspecting people by this advanced and stylish fighter. This plane was immediately sent to USA and influence forever the development of military aviation, helping to fully understand the function of sweep angled and laminar flux wing in the high speed fly regimes.
Mi subject is inspired in the very known pictures of this interesting plane: very low standard construction, with no sealant in the joining of metal plaques, very hammered plaques to conform the structure, etc. I'd decide to incorporate the final engine, the HeS011, that was never ready to install in this plane at the moment of its discovering.
I bought two kits, one of them I did as a Luft'46 guise, but it is not impressive as this little orphan test example. It's a real eye catcher in the shelf...everyone who looks at this marvel, inquires a full lots of details about it and its history.

With love to fans of aircraft modelling...
