Default Baade 152

East Germany tried hard to demonstrate that it's form of Socialism was superior to any system of governance which existed at that time. This was one failed attempt within that endeavor which produced not only a very unattractive airliner but also did not go into production on account of a few crashes which occurred in 1961. There is a group in modern day Germany that is working to restore one of these monstrosities known as the "Baade 152". The videoclips marketing this airliner (in German) are impressive considering this unfortunate outcome. It would still be cool to see one of these come out in Deutsche Lufthansa (East German) or Interflug livery in scale 1:400.
