Yep, because the drawing was made to look like this (on purpose).
The real proportions of the Komet are different:

Another subject of interest could be the Lippische P.13 ram jet. Also without a propeller

Anyone know where all these examples are stored now!
Interesting concepts....

Check here - this is the The Military Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach.
BTW (ve-e-ery proudly! ) we have a Me-163 and a He-162 here in Ottawa in the Canada Aviation and Space Museum.
Cheers!

CATCH 22 · Jul 29, 2021

I have a question about this GB: since this is an WW2Aircraft-forum it is my understanding that it will be more appropriate to build WW II objects, rather than anything else. Anyway, is it possible to build some of the paper-projects from the WW II period? Some of them never existed in the reality, some of them are even on the verge of fantasy (I have a Haunebu in 1/72 e.g.) Technically those are not whifs, but projects (secret or not), ideas or some of them simply rumors.
Are those "personas non grata" for the GB?

N4521U · Jul 29, 2021

I think the Jets or No Propellers build is just to add to our experience.
They CAN be an Experience!!!!!! I will attest.
We have had paper builders in the past.
Moderators!????

Not so sure I agree with the WWII part but the subject is for Jets, rocket power and gliders. Not my call but I would tend to say if a paper project was non propeller propelled then it would meet the basic requirements. there have been several kits brought out (many by Dragon) of the paper concepts. I would enjoy seeing them done up.

T Bolt · Jul 30, 2021

I agree. It would be nice to see a one of those Luftwaffe '46 birds in the build

August 1 to December 4, 2021 GB 51 "No Propellers"

This Group Build will be for any aircraft kept in the air by anything other than propellers. Jets, rocket-powered aircraft, and gliders are included. This category covers any era of aviation.

I'm OK with "What-Ifs". I'm struggling with motivation right now which I hope will pass before the current GB is done

Paper projects are fine but I don't want to see this:

Wurger · Jul 30, 2021

Andy, you still have the designs based on the Avro Arrow. .

Crimea_River · Jul 30, 2021

I'm in with an He162. It attacked while I was at the LHS buying paint.

Wurger · Jul 30, 2021

I have been thinking about the Swallow ...

Snautzer01 · Jul 30, 2021

I am in for a paper folded GB. They must fly inside, any fancy spray work will get extra credits. Would there be any intrest?

A replica of a Lippisch P.13a at the Military Aviation Museum in the Cottbus hangar.

Haha, was an interesting attack

A4K · Jul 30, 2021

Want to try and enter this build, and - God forbid- maybe even finish it! Painting is still an issue.

ALOT of options, but top of the list at moment is the beautiful A-4 Skyhawk...

Wayne Little · Jul 31, 2021

Hope you can join in Evan...

A4K · Aug 1, 2021

Cheers Wayne! A bit wary after all my previous failures.
