Ah, ok now I understood. Thank you for the clarification. Best Regards Teemu Haajanen

Hi Dave !! Did You contacted the manufacturer about this problem ? Would be nice to hear what he says about it, perhaps it is a matter of material shrinking too much. Best Regards Teemu Haajanen

Ditto.

Hello Dave Is there any way to know what MB boxings would be revised as you mention ? I have one or two of them and would like to compare them. About those now gone Aeroclub correction sets, would anyone have a photo of the nosecone of how much wrong the MB ones are ? TIA Teemu H.

Hello Dave. PM sent. Best Regards Teemu H.

Hello I was wondering this same too. I don't have FB account and propably never will have but I tried to contact this seller via friends FB account but no answer. I have also tried to email this seller but no response. How does one can get into contact with him in order to purchase these sets ?? TIA Teemu H.

According to my knowledge, when this kit was reviewed on a finnish modeling magazine IPMS-Mallari, it was said that the control columns are missing. They were said to be on that Dominator boxing but were forgot on the manned versions. I haven't spotted them on the sprues no matter how hard I'm looking. Just my little add-on, perhaps others can tell or will know more. HTH Teemu H.

Hello Julien Have you got any answer or news from the KP regarding those canopies ? Best Regards Teemu H.

Sorry, minor correction. I meant tyres but made an error.

Hello I recently acquired the Mini and would like to know can anyone here point any directions to what to do with those poor tires please ? I was aware of that the tires would be the weak part of this. Any help or info would be highly appreciated. Is there any after-market tires and or wheels available ? All my searches earlier has provided a vague info, I have a few options so far, but I would like to know if any details can be found here. Thanks in advance. Teemu H.

Hello I was under the impression, that the newer kits would be the Tranch(e) 3 including the extra pylons that were missing from the original kit.

Hello all I have this book from year 1953 translated to finnish and if I'm at the correct date to this high altitude battle on February 21 1944, the book says following: two pilots that were at standby was to be Ian Blair and Kelly. The author then says that he and his friend Remlinger relieved the pilots so that they could for lunch or so. The biggest disinfo according to my opinion is that Clostermann calls those altitude Spitfires as Mk. VIII's and not Mk.VI's or VII's but it is not relevant here. Is it verified that the German plane was G-6 and not the earlier G-4 ? I have liked his books and I'm aware that they may be fully correct at least the Big Show but again this is not relevant for this topic. Just wanted to share my thoughts with You, pardon if this date and occurance is not what was discussed. Yours Teemu H

Kiitos auttoi kyllä. The same pic came across earlier from the web and few others, hard to see the attachments.

Thanks. In "my scale" 1/72 was also this kit from Amodel. Oh, sorry, my mistake. Thank You for correcting. I just got that image from the posts that I have read before here on different topics.

Hello I would like to ask some questions about those mentioned recce versions. I did search from my own references and from the net but if anyone have other opinions and knowledge. First, would anyone be able to help about 109G-4R-3 with two auxiliary fuel tanks on wings, how they were attached ? Did they have similar stubs like on those WGr.21 rocket launchers or rack or what ? I have found some pics but just would like to know if someone knows better and more. Also, what were those long things like pipes coming forward on those tanks ? Second, Pierre Clostermann describes on his book 'The Great Show', how he shoot down a recce 109 with two wing mounted drop tanks. I know that it was Ian Blair who made the claim and that the 109 was apparently 109G-6R-3 1.(F)/120 A6+XH flown by Quednay. Now the question, would the 109G-6 recce have used those auxiliary tanks ? Did G-8 use or could have been used similar tanks. I know that this is difficult but any info and output would be highly appreciated ? TIA Teemu Haajanen
