Reviews : DML Me1101 Nachtjager

Great kit for lovers of the Luftwaffe Projects. This version of the P.1101, with different tail, radar and other changes, never reach more than paper project level. But, it shows how, some of the most advanced ideas, were born, in those terrible years. The kit is very well molded, very good level of detail, and easy to assemble. It comes with the entire engine, that can be partially shown, which is a nice addition, also it comes with a couple of fuel tanks and two air-air missiles (X-4, They were passing the prototype status, in fact). it also comes with photo-etched parts, especially for the cockpit area and a couple for outside (as usual these little metal parts are dificult to glue or handle, not for beginners). The decal markings and the painting are obviously speculative. The kit, although a very small one, even for 1/72 scale, it looks great when finished.

Kit is nicely detailed with small fret of Photoetch , can be built as regular fighter , not many parts but goes together with little trouble unlike some of the other earlier Dragon aircraft , Nice kit of a plane that was actually made , at least one prototype was close to completion. inspired the Bell X-5 the first aircraft capable of changing the sweep of its wings in flight.
