The Aerodyne is a very unique VTOL-concept designed by Alexander Lippisch in 1950. It was never built according to his design, but in 1972 Dornier flew a smaller, unmanned version: The Dornier Aerodyne E1.
The resin kit from Unicraft I only can recommend to experts. A lot of rework must be done to get a good looking model.
The engine housing got exhaust tubes from another kit. Also the propellers were left from another model. They were 3-blade props and I made 2-blade props out of them.
I used carbon fiber rods (Ø 1mm) to fit the engine housing inside the Aerodyne. There were no decals in the box, but three nice looking painting suggestions. I created my own paint scheme and made a German experimental aircraft out of it. After I attached a mixture of self printed decals, decals from other kits and Iron Crosses on the sides from MSN (
