Yep, that's right. Does anyone know if there are any good detail drawings and photos of the GL.VII in the Windsock datafile on Late Gotha bombers?

Not from just one photo - We have the picture of the assembled model in Nürnberg and the CAD model (on the box art and the Airfix homepage). The landing gear always looks too short. Just sayin. It happens to the best ones..

I don't know...looks to be very short in the legs. That's a little dissapointing; perhaps I can recycle an old Italeri landing gear. Everything else looks ok, though.

@Andreas: Thanks for the link! That was I was looking for @Mike: You are right, I forgot that AZ improved the awful RV fuselage - but the Hasegawa offering is interesting nonetheless. Their D-9 had always been a good competition. Cheers and thanks for your help again! Christian

Gentlemen, on its October newspage Hasegawa announced this Dual Combo-Kit: http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/e-w/NEWDETAIL/1410/02115.html Their D-9 would need some new parts for this - Does anyone know if Hasegawa includes them here? Cheers, Christian

Hi Troy, thanks for your hints, I have changed the title a bit. I did not ask for any other units though, because I was specifically interested in those two - but you might be right, of course. Let's see what comes up. And I am happy to have gotten you interested in this topic - from a modeller's point of view, there should be some interesting possibilities out there

Gentlemen, basically, the title says it all. Do any photos exist which show their Bostons, Spits and Mosquitos during 1944-46, while they were involved in the Greek Civil War? Any help would be appreciated! Cheers, Christian

Hi, Aleksandar, and sorry for my belated reply - got no e-mail notification! Nice to know the underpants gnomes manage your accuracy checks The Academy kit is basically good - I built one when I was younger and now I can compare this still surviving example to photos of the real thing. I can't help it but there always seems to be something wrong with the general appearance, even though the scale plans tell otherwise. Perhaps it's my main gear adjustment? Anyway, I look forward to your build with the shortened fuselage; maybe you found the solution! BTW: May I point you to the Rob Taurus canopy for the Tempest? -> http://www.rob-taurus.cz/ It's the best replacement canopy for the Tempest in 1/72 scale and can be used for your Typhoon also. Will improve the look a lot! Regards, Christian

I know, an older thread - but did this one ever get finished? And two additional questions if I may - I used the Bentley and Caruana drawings to measure the Academy Tempest, and the fuselage is rather spot on with the Bentley plans (wing span seems to be to wide in comparison to both). Now I wonder which one of these plans is more correct? Aleksandar, could you provide a photo of the Quickboost exhausts you will use for this project? On the photos offered by Quickboost they are modelled incorrectly, with a rim at the tip of every exhaust stack. Their 1/48 counterparts are correct, however. So perhaps they just posted wrong photos on their homepage? Regards, Christian
