Welcome on board!

Łukasz Gliński
Me 4, that's a cool one!

Robert Podkoński
Perhaps it could serve as a lawn mower 😄

Thomas Espe
Wow, interesting and cool.

Juergen Klinglhuber Szerző
Hi Lukasz, Robert, Thomas. Nice to have you on board.
Some progress with the lawn mower project. Interior mainly done.

The canopy is a 2 half vaccu molded blister....not sure yet how to avoid the parting line right through the front and top window..??..That's something I have to work off during next week.

Juergen Klinglhuber Szerző
Windshield issue solved,....

Robert Podkoński
Impressive work on the canopy, Juergen! Chapeau!

S M
Very impressive! Those tiny clear parts are so difficult to manage.

Stefan Fraundorfer
Jürgen, I have never heard about this plane. Very cool from you, that you build it and show us this rarity.

Juergen Klinglhuber Szerző
Thx Robert and S M for your comments.
Hi Stefan, amoungst others I have a weakness for x-projects/experimental crafts AND for short runner kits. This one was the perfect combination.

Ricardo Reis
Strange plane, very nice! Following!

A few new pic's showing some progress on this bird.

Juergen Klinglhuber Szerző
First colour on....

gorby
Those wheel bays definitely look better.
I'll have to try that Ultimate primer.

Guillaume Blanchet
Interesting kit, Follwing!

S M
Nice progress! Did you left the nose unattached for easier masking?

Juergen Klinglhuber Szerző
Thx Gorby & Guillaume. And yes, S M, I did this to reduce masking efforts. Hope it turns out ok then.

Mirko Römer
Pretty special and interesting aircraft. Following!

Juergen Klinglhuber Szerző
Thx Mirko.
New pic available -

S M
Cool paintjob 😄

Alec K
Nice progress. The dot camo looks very good, I have yet to try something similar.

Juergen Klinglhuber Szerző
Thx S M & Alec.
Now the bird is in it's final colour. It is ready to receive the decals as a next step.

Juergen Klinglhuber Szerző
Hi there. After some weeks of absence, due to construction work on the house I was able to work a bit on Fa 269. A few hours more and I will be DONE with this one.

Alec K
Looking good. What a design!!

S M
Nicely decals added 👍 I'm excited to see it ready soon 🙂

Juergen Klinglhuber Szerző
Thx Alex & S M.

Juergen Klinglhuber Szerző
DONE !
Finally I am happy to show you some pic's of my FA269 project. I hope you like it. cheers

Marius
What an oddity of an aircraft! I had no idea it even existed. Tilt-rotor aircraft are a major engineering challenge nowadays still, not to mention 80 years ago.
Congratulations on the hard work and wonderful result! What a nice topic!

S M
Well done! It's just like in the box art 😄

Łukasz Gliński
Utterly cool! And made of some soap - respect! 👍

Ricardo Reis
Very nice... I mean awful... I mean cool! 😄 Congrats!!!

Alec K
😂😂😂

Alec K
Very well done indeed. I wonder how many of this kit were ever build 🙂

Ben M
Amazing result from a very primitive kit!

Juergen Klinglhuber Szerző
Hi everyone and many thanks for leaving your nice comments. It's always motivating, especially on such pain creating kits (at least during the build phase). Finding appreciation afterwards compensate a lot.
