Lippish gleiter-bomben fleugzeuge
Next to enlarge is this luft '46 glider bomber. This originally was designed by kampflieger for a website sharkkit.com. it was a freebie on the site that was acquired and built in 1-50 scale. The idea was a human guided glide bomb. it was dropped from a parent bomber probably a ju-88 etc and glided down with either a 500kg or 1000kg bomb. the "pilot" released the bomb on target, but the last part was a bit sketchy. It wasn't clear how he would get away, particularly as he was now behind enemy lines. I guess he could do battle damage assessments first hand, if he survived.
the kit was fairly simple, had a rudimentary interior and a 1000kg bomb.
I simplified the little egg shaped craft by no interior and a 500kg bomb I had left over from the stuka kit. her she is with her 1/50 scale larger brother...
