F.F.G. Berlin B9 by der Kampfflieger
It looks like Roman has slipped another one in on us...the following is quoted from der Kampfflieger website,
"1/48 F.F.G. Berlin B9 - German WWII experimental plane. The DVL gave a order to build a powered aircraft. It was built by FFG Berlin and was named the Berlin B9. It flew spring 1943. It could withstand 22g! It looks kind of usual except the cockpit. The fully glazed cockpit gave the pilot superb view between 30 degrees below the horizontal to 40 degrees above the horizontal."
I obtained this model from DeWayne Barnett's site a few years ago and it is up to Roman's usual high standards. There is a page of background info, one of parts and one of assembly diagrams. Landing gear is included but the fully glassed cockpit interior is not presented. Detailing the cokpit and using transparent film would be an interesting challenge to one of you scratchbuiilders or kitbashers. An excellent value for the price and it makes an unusual addition to any aircraft collection.
