Luft '46 Kits: Where and What to Get?

[Igzilee]

First post!

I really love WWII German prototype aircraft and the overall style of Luft '46 designs, but I'm having trouble finding kits that are available. While I see many images of completed kits, I can only find a handful of them for purchase. I currently have my eyes on the Revell FW Flitzer and Me P.1099 B/I and the AZmodel EF-128E-1. Are these worth picking up for ~$30 each? Are there any other good Luft '46 models that are actually obtainable and decent for a beginner? Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places.

Not all "what if" models are entire kits. Check out these stickers, and note the dates...

Hi and welcome aboard! When you find your kit, be sure and share your build with us!

For 'X' planes WW2 I go to unicraftumodels@gmai;.com who produce weird and wonderful resin 1/72 scale kits! I've looked at the website first at what they have to offer now and they also mention future models at the research/prototype stages. They are based in the Ukraine. I've built a few over the years!

A quick web search on "luft 46 model kits" returned a lot of hits, but this site particularly looked like it would help you:

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the recommendations everyone! I have found a lot of new kits to take a look at - now I just need to make the hard decision of which ones I truly want.

I didn't help much, but am happy to hear the others could.

Whatever you do, show us the in progress pics, most of us love the updates.
