Having built both these models you should enjoy the builds. The window on the Lippisch is a sloppy fit but it's definitely build-able and the take off trolly is a neat touch. The FW183 looks good built and hardly needed any filler and mine wasn't a tail sitter even with no nose weight added bit it is close to the tipping point so I will add some on the next one I build.

All the best.

Added some card to the undercarriage bays to spruce them up a bit though I doubt much will be seen once the doors are on so I will leave as is.

Image

I also used card stock in the cockpit and added some side panels and a rear bulkhead as well as an instrument panel.

Image

All the parts have had a coat of paint and are now drying...
