Leaving the house 10 minutes late before going to work just to watch Andy’s new video... Happy times!!! Great job as always Andy! Keep it coming... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Ironically, for one of the more outlandish ideas that the Germans came up with, this is one project that quite a lot of design work was done on and at least some parts of the design were undergoing wind tunnel testing when the project was halted by the Soviet advance. The design would have flown but would almost certainly have run into the same issues of landing difficulties that other tail sitting designs of the post war period (Convair Pogo and Lockheed Salmon) encountered. Namely pilot disorientation as the aircraft neared the ground. It would be interesting to know what, if any, methods Focke-Wulf were thinking of using to get round this particular issue.
I wonder if a self-righting gravity-gradient oriented cockpit was ever considered, so the the pilot would always have proper visual orientation during all phases of flight, including the vertical landing? Now with modern wireless controls, I imagine such a concept is much more doable than in 1944.
Building my own kit of this at the moment: I approached the Wing attachments slightly differently- I carefully glued the "collars" onto the stub wings when fitting them to the main ring, so that the wings are free to alter their pitch. The result is that you can show it in take-off pitch or in-flight pitch. The collar still acts as a strengthening piece internally though. (I used a drop of Tamiya Extra Thin Quick on the joint internally, and just ensured that it was pressed tight enough for the wing(s) to still rotate.) The rest I will be doing pretty much as suggested. Very nice kit overall. and yours came out very well.
i could just imagine a Triebflügel zerg.
*_goosebumps*_*
Great job Andy and would like to say love the new shows you been doing
Such a fascinating vehicle!
It would be neat to make this as a diorama. with the "wings" off, loaded on a US flatbed truck in front of an underground factory entrance with some American soldiers looking at it
Yes and maybe a tarp draped over part of it with a GI taking a peek holding a clip board
the 1:35 kit has a lot of potential for that sort of diorama
Great idea.
NOLA_Ken operation paper clip diorama 👍🤘
@@PeteCourtier exactly, I think that would be really cool
Great stuff Andy, as always!
I hope that you'll build the MiniArt 1/35 one, for a wee comparison....
I hope that all is well at your end buddy! 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻
Great job. I want to add this plane to my inventory.
I've built this kit recently as well. Had the same issues. I left those little collars off the propeller/wings and didn't glue them so they could be removed as well as rotating. For the join at the top of the rotating section I added extensions inside to give a stronger join. An easy kit to build of a subject I've wanted for decades.
Great job. Looks like a nice kit to have. One wonders if this thing could really fly. It would have been an awesome sight as the engines may have created a ring of fire around the fuselage as it flew in forward flight.
It might have been able to take off, but it would have almost impossible to land. Its very dangerous trying to land a more conventional tail sitter aircraft, which is why research into them was soon abandoned. Trying to land this thing would have been even worse.
@@ChristianMcAngus Yes. I remember seeing the test with the USAF Pogo. Landing was virtually impossible. Just would have liked to see the aircraft in flight surrounded by the ring of fire.
also, how do you counter the rotational force of the wings and engines?
@@garfieldsmith332 It would have been an extraordinary sight, you're right. It would also have been incredibly loud, especially since the end of the rotors would probably break the sound barrier.
@@j.mcq.8418 Tip-jet rotors (with jets on the tips of the rotor) naturally impart very little torque to the body of the aircraft.
Hello mr.andy. i love that mottling you did.with sticky greetings. Your modellmate. Christian
Just got my kit from Andy’s - I’m building it as Red Skull’s escape craft from “Captain America: The First Avenger” using Hydra logo decals I found on line.
Appreciate the insight to the circular rings as reinforcements for wing stubs. However, I don’t know why Amusing Hobby included turbines for the engines. True ramjets have no moving parts and would be largely see-through except for the flame holder. I’m opting to forgo the turbines.
This is my favorite "plane"
A simple kit to build but what a fantastic looking kit once finished Nice work Andy Steve 🇬🇧
Almost unbelievably the Focke-Wulf factory had started wind tunnel testing on this design using models. Several items came out of the test. First, because of the state of metallurgy, the rotation of the wings had to be capped at 250 rpm (on the full size version) which inturn, limited the top speed to just over 540kph or 400 mph. So it would not have been an outstanding advantage.
One other point was that the engines weren't turbojets as on the Me262. They were to be Ramjets, which had to be spun up to ignition by RATO rockets mounted outboard of the nacelles, and jettisoned at takeoff.
I love it when someone speaks our language with accent. I like that more than germans who try to speak english 😂
You should try some more luftwaffe 46' kits, maybe a TA-183. Good thing about those kits is the freedom in terms painting and markings
I want that plane for me. Nice plane.
Hi Andy. Great model of a 1946 jet aircraft that could have been. A lot of good how to information on your channel . Enjoy the day. Ray L
Thank you , I appreciate you watching 😀
Just picked up my one today looking forward to building this on andy love you site
just bought this kit on Ebay for about 40 bucks. should get it from Hong Kong in about a month. im really excited to build this.
A fun little build
That's cool...love the yellow chin. It really pops 👌
Nice build, looking forward to my own Triebflugel arriving soon
Just finished the Miniart version, excellent model
Great job as always, I picked it up yesterday from Andy on a visit to Arizona as I know I wouldn’t be able to find it easy in Canada can’t wait to get home and start on it!
Nice build as usual.
2:30 I think you should glue this pice only to wing not to body of model.
Than wings will spin in painted model.
Hi Andy, You are very correct when you said, STRANGE, but it looked very nice when you finished the build, so well done mate, what's next on the table? Keep doing what you do best, build great kits.
I got one from a different company, can't remember the name but it was like getting a block of plastic to carve it out of.
I always have fun building
Really cool!
Shock horror! Andy’s painted a figure!
Another great build Andy ,crying out for a diorama.
Can you do Arl 44 by amusing hobby next?
Ramjet engines pretty much had nothing in them. No moving parts - just the fuel manifolds.
Hi Andy, do you remember if these decals slide easily over the surface? Or do they stick wherever they're placed?
Great build Andy and that is a really goofy looking airplane - keep it up mate, always an inspiration :)
still waiting on the 1/35 figure painting tutorial...
PATIENTLY WAITING 😉😉😉LOL
Andy, this was great. I really want one now lol.
Hey Andy. Iam a Fan from Germany since the very beginning of your channel and i am just get the info that my neighbor is in anthem AT a visit. I told him to get a signed tshirt from u. Please be paicent with him as He cant speak english very good. His Name is Michael. ..hopefully u real This. Would be much Happy if This will be achieved. Robert from Thuringia
Looks really cool, Andy! I'm wanting to get hold of one of those Miniart "Sharotank" kits. Got an idea for a kind of reverse Lend-Lease kinda thing.
Andy...It's wrong, geez is it wrong. Just kidding , nice video, probably the shortest you've made.
Nice paint job, kind of a leopard scheme.
Hi Andy
look like b-wing idea andy
It's not a decent model Andy, it's a outstanding model. Great job as always. btw, is it one for beginners?
Always been a fan of the Triebflugel...think I'll be getting one of these kits...only bummer i saw was no swastika on the tail...(I know Ew Ew Ew nazi swastika= evil bad guys)...sorry nope I'm not PC so I would add it just for "correctness"...I understand you might not have added it do to you tube demonetization...anyway nice build and love that camo job very late war high altitude bomber interceptor looking which is what this craft was intended to do
ASMR right here
Where would the fuel be for each engine?
I think each blade would need to hold fuel, unless some style of slipring could be used.
Pretty sure this was in Captain America: The First Avenger and flown by Red Skull.
When to your website to order this kit... But not shown in your inventory could you inform me when it will be thanks you.
Andy how it going? Cool build. Was needing some advice. I'm building a wh40k tank and there plastic is thick and chunky. Would tamiya extra thin work? Would it melt the plastic enough to not fall apart? Thanks, Robert Griffin.
I Want 1,,, How Much ,, It's Ccoooll Andy, thanks for Sharing n Have a Blessed Wknd Brother.
Thanks Andy mmmmmmmmmmm would it fly
Luftwaffe '46, my man.
Take off would be easy. But I bet landing this thing would'nt be fun. XD
i want
Andy , look on mini art kit triebflugel in 1/35 or tankballs
I don’t get this what if genre.
not so much "Luftwaffe 1946" as "Luftwaffe 1956"
Nice model, but I think in reality the rotary engines should have been pointing their thrust much more forward. The angle of the engines on this model is unbelievable (The engines on the wingtips would have to turn at well over supersonic speeds, which they wouldn't be able to withstand). In this idiot configuration, the plane would not have been capable of horizontal maneuvering flight. This is a historical mistake of the kit manufacturer.
The thing is, it never flew, it never had a chance of flying, on paper it would sound possible, it would never fly because all the materials required were in short supply, who’d you train and how long for to fly it, it was a paper exercise at best , and, where did all these plane and Rocket scientists go...?🤔
germany really hated its pilots....good luck landing son
This plane looks a little bit strange.
But it was really flown near the end
of WW ll but only in Testflights.
It was planed as a interceptor
aircraft to start from a field or
any similar place like a rocket.
After nearby any german airfield
was destroyed, this was a clever
idea for the third reich, to win back
air sovereignty.
But it came to late to change
anything.
After the war the plane was
rebuilt by the US Airforce
as Lockheed XVF - 1 and
Convair XFY - 1. 😇
I wonder if he has ever ruined a model and had to rebuild one for the video.
