There is
not much information about the Bombengleiter (Bomb-glider). Some assign it to Lippisch, but it´s not proven and compared to other Lippisch-designs I would say it´s not from
them. The kit from Unicraft - named "Gleiter Bomber" - is made out of resin and contains a deepdrawn canopy. The resin parts must be deburred, the cockpit must be reworked. The inner surfaces are very rough. So I
reworked the cockpit, added a pilot figure and a visor. Further I added a frame behind the cockpit, so that the rear part of the fuselage is closed. The Bombengleiter is a unique model with it´s very special layout and an enrichment for my collection. Because of the rework which must be done on the Unicraft kit, I only can recommend it to experienced modellers. The SC 1000 from Airmodel Products is easy to build. Thomas Brückelt
