I wonder what were the chances of actually

hitting anything with the panzerfausts?

 

I should think you would need to be very low & slow.

 

The build is coming along nicely.

for those who are interested, found a German site with some pictures that show the transmission cables for the Panzerfäuste a bit better, especially in the cockpit, but still not 100% clear if the cables go through the side fuselage or near the wing root area into the wings and then into the fuselage

Decals done, was a hard fight, they are very thin and almost each decal wrapped when moved from the sheet. And when on the model and you want to move it in the right position they behaved like chewing gum, in the end had to use some Balkenkreuz from the sparesbox. The decal for the yellow fuselage band isn´t completely covering, some repainting neccessary.

lower Panzerfäuste mounted, took them from the Special Hobby Bü181 kit, the ones from the Stransky kit aren´t molded nicely

also drilled holes for the bowden entry points, on the few existing pics you can hardly recognize were the bowdens enter the airframe, somwe where in the wingroot area, my dad decided for the wing surface near the wing roots
