Thanks gents

Hi everyone, I'm building a Wingnut Wings Albatros D.Va with a 180hp Mercedes D.IIIa engine. I'm looking to make this one museum quality and would most appreciate your suggestions. So far, I've acquired Bo Munroe's full set of aftermarket, the Baracuda intake manifold and all the necessary Taurus details. However, i'll need to add spark plug wiring, piping and many other details. So what materials do you all recommend for spark plugs, piping and any other necessary details? Does anyone have any special tips for this subassembly? Many thanks, VC

Thank you

Thanks mate!

Hi all, I'd like some recommendations for 1/35 WWI British figurines in desert uniform to accompany Meng's Armoured Rolls Royce please? I've looked high and low but to no avail unfortunately. Thanks in advance!

Hi all, Much like the title suggests, what do you think is the best Bf 109 produced in 1/32? Take ease of assembly, fit, detail and accuracy all into account. However, don't factor in price - simply what is the best kit on the market? I look forward to hearing what you all have to say!

Hi Jack and Chris, I tried contacting them through their email however unfortunately I have not received a reply. Also it would appear that they cannot be contacted via Facebook. It does all seem a bit bizarre.

Hello all, I've stumbled across Wings Cockpit Figures in 1/32 which seem to be some beautifully sculpted figurines. One problem, I can't seem to contact the company at all. In fact, it almost looks like it does not exist anymore? Does anyone have any information on this? If it's still running, how can i get in contact or purchase their figurines? Thanks

Thanks for your replies everyone. I am going to do some research into the Ju-87 at RAF museum. It will be interesting to find out if the raised rivets seen in Tbolt's post are original or part of a restoration project. Also, i'll have a look into whether riveting was different between D/G variants and B/R variants as I plan on building an R variant. Thanks for the suggestion about Archer's transfers. They look brilliant. Has anyone had any experience with them?

Thanks for your help everyone! It certainly makes my life easier. Fortunately, the Trumpeter moulds have raised rivets on the walkway strop and the rest are all flush rivets. Looks like all I will need to do is buy a 1/32 riveting tool. I believe however there were some raised rivets on the tail near where the rudder connects (https://www.flickr.com/photos/historicair/49536808948). Their profile is minimal though. Does anyone know of a feasible 1/32 product to achieve those raised rivets? I will check some more reference material. Further advice and reference material all welcome. So please keep the thread alive If you would like to contribute something!

Hello, I'm building Trumpeter's Ju-87 in 1/32nd scale. Whilst it's probably the best Stuka on the market in this scale, unfortunately, it is missing quite a few details which Border Model's 1/35th example has, such as raised rivets. I plan to build the Stuka to a high accuracy as possible and would like to add some raised rivets to it. So here is where my query begins. Does anyone have any advice on the correct size of raised rivet for such a scale? What are everyone's experiences with the after market raised rivets? What is your favourite brand and product? I have found one product which looks good (https://quinta-studio.com/en/product/594/). Does anyone have any experience with those ones! I look forward to all your advice and if anyone who's already built this model has any advice, I'd love to hear it. Thank you in advance!

Cheers gents. I'll be following the build reviews with great interest.

Does anyone have any updates on the release of this kit?
