Makers of fine resin kits from Russia, Pepelatz have a brand new high tech resin kit of the paper design Henschel P.130. These guys make some very nice smaller scale kits of X-Planes, paper projects, sci-fi models and other interesting stuff using the latest 3D printing technology.

The planned design for the Henschel P.130
The Henschel Hs P.130 was to be the ultimate in design shape for a piston engine fighter, with almost flying wing or delta wing, swept back sharply and a pusher propeller. The nose armament was going to be fearsome, however, like many projects towards the end of WWII, resources and time ran out for the German aircraft manufacturers and designers. This aircraft's plan was however very futuristic and it surely influenced the Americans and some see this design and the P.135 jet fighters as an ancestor similar to Northrop's XP-56.

Here we have our first look at the instructions of the resin kit: First the markings and the parts map
The kit is almost upon us - and the 3D printed masters show a lot of the details of the kit and how it looks.
Although Pepelatz' new Resin kit of the P.130 is due this month I would look on their website to find more information on the kit as it nears release very soon.
