ReccePhreak Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I don't know if this is the right subforum for this, but I am trying to find out if any 1/48 Luftwaffe fighter kit comes with Ruhrstahl X-4 missiles. I need 2 of them, to install on my Revell AG 1/48 Lippisch P-13A aircraft model. Larry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will try to locate one, or more, of those kits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gary F Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) Larry, you might also look at the hobby boss me-262 kits … some of them have the x-4 also … might be the single seat night fighter. Probably cheaper than the Huckebein or Horten too. Looked on scalehobbyist.com and bothe the 262 A-1a-U5 and the A-1b have 4 each of the X-4. $22 for each kit and notice the ta-183 was $28.

ReccePhreak Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 Thanks for all the good inputs. I already had the AMtech 1/48 Ta-183 "Huckebein" in my stash, so I will be able to use those Ruhrstahl X-4 missiles, since I am converting the Huckebein to a Photo-Recce version that was proposed. My DML Ho229B Nachtjäger will also be converted to a proposed recce variant with 2 MK108s with 90 rpg in the right wing root and 2 Rb50/18 cameras replacing the left wing's guns. I didn't even think of looking at those 2 kits in my stash, before posting my request. Larry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gary F Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 AMTech kit is same as the Academy Huckebein. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Instead, it has 4 completely different HS298 missiles. I will get the Ruhrstahl X-4 missiles out of one of my Ta-183 Huckebein kits. Larry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I should have taken time to check the details further. :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I should have taken time to check the details further. 😕 No worries, since my Lippisch P-13A is pretty much a "What-If" Luft 46 kit, any missile would "tart up" the model. Even a Sidewinder! I can save my HS298 missiles for some other What-If model. My Luftwaffe Recon conversions will be "Alone, Unarmed & Unafraid".

Sorry Gary, I was unable to find any needed info on the JM-1P, other than some VERY SHORT (1 line) mentions of that variant. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING useful, so that "project" has gone into hibernation.
