Me P.1106R Eric Son 1/48- my travel build

I am now on the road in Montreal Canada for a while. I brought some "paper work" with me. That is paper models:rolleyes:



However, I could not bring anything complicated and decided to build quick, but attractive models that I already had from previous events.



This one is another addition to my Luft 46 aircraft collection.



Info on the aircraft is here:

Also, more info on plastic kits from the Luft 46 site:

Luft 46 Models: Messerschmitt Me P.1106









The kit is one of many that Eric Son has produced. They are in 1/48 scale which is consistent with many plastic models, but I usually scale up his designs to 1/33 scale. In the past I posted some of my builds on this forum ). However, because I did not scale it up and can't print properly in my hotel, it will be built here in its original 1/48 scale.





The kit design and initial build by Eric is here:

There is allot of info on the build and I will not dive into it too much since my purpose is just to enjoy building.







My general impression is that this is a very interesting Luft 46 subject that inspired some of the Star Wars vehicles I am sure ( especially the cockpit in the rear..... It is also relatively simple and has few parts. There is nothing complicated and an experienced builder will have no problems.



My only modification is to use wood coffee stir sticks for the wing and tail support.



Another note: Since this remained in 1/48 scale and is my hotel build, I did not build a cockpit nor make clear canopy. So maybe in the future if this model is scaled up, I will add more detail.











Next is the build
