Cornelius XFG-1 Fule Tank Glider in 1/100 scale

[gomidefilho]

My newest addition to 1/100 X Planes collection. At the time is a DGA Cornelius XFG-1 fuel tank glider. Designed in 1944/45, this glider is towed by bombers and transport planes for increase the range, after transfer of fuel out this glider is released. Two airframes are build to testing some concepts, the unsual configuration is form high speed modes; This model is in 1/48 scale but I reduce, is very easy to build. I made in only two hours and half, the fuse are simple tube and cones the most complicated pieces is a wings and canopy...

Stranger things for in-flight refueling.
Crazy concept, nice looking paper model.

Interesting looking glider.

I think the wing sweep forward was for practical rather than aerodynamic purpose ( larger interior open volume forward of the wing uninterrupted by the wing structure ).

I guess the operational version would not have had a pilot. Otherwise he would have been on a one way trip.

nice model, Pericles.
