Regarding modeling projects I would call myself a " restless spirit".

Before finishing a single project, I have to know about what next.

After several hints from Mossie, I decided to raise another rare project from

Luft'46 Source  ... It is the TA183 III Design I put my eyes on ... Advantages ... could be driven

by a single EDF  -sure ... it is ducted fan driven but first - this is just a study and second, I at

least  have to try this once!!!

First there is the raw SPLINE sketch up

Second the sketch up is detailed and partially meshed

Third is the raw proposal ...

Time since from start is about 1,5 hours now!!!

I'm not quite sure ... I guess yours is the TL  or  Super TL

http://www.luft46.com/fw/fwsuptl.html

The source I tried to use, is about the 183/III Design

http://www.luft46.com/fw/ta183-ii.html

which is a bit different plane but generally could
belong to same family of the Kurt Tank design....

This is the TL Jager Entwurf III, it's a Planet Models resin kit in 1/72.  From what I read this is what Tank came up with after he had doubts about Multhopp's Ta.183 design.  It looks a lot like the one in your second link.

Hans, you've caught my complete attention :thumbsup:

This is surely going to be one very illustrative example of construction.

What size/scale are you planning for this projekt?

UUUuuumm, I love cardboard (Cardboard, Yum!!!)
OK, I know I can't stop scratchbuilding. Someday, I will build something OOB....

YOU - ME- EVERYONE.
WE MAY THINK DIFFERENTLY
BUT WE CAN LIVE TOGETHER

For the TL I will have to make the "shaft"  a bit thicker!!!

I guess I will plan to get it 80 cm up to a meter wingspan ( as it is just a study)!!!
