Not my usual scale (1/32) or subject matter (Luftwaffe), but I really enjoyed this kit. Everything fit where it should and it was nicely detailed, although I added Eduard instrument panels and seat harnesses, and the resin shrouds on the rigging cables. ICM included a full engine but no way off showing it off unfortunately, short of cutting up the engine cowling. I really hope they release a Bü 133 Jungmeister – I'd love to do a yellow Swiss one.

This is a project that was started in July and just completed a few days ago. It was ordered as a present for the pilot of the fullsize Jungmann and so I've kept details of the model off the net until he received the model over the weekend just gone. The picture below shows the fullsize example, not long after arriving in the UK from Germany. Over the winter, the owner is converting the aircraft to a fully aerobatic configuration, with an inverted fuel system and other changes. This is because he competes in international aerobatic competitions using the Aresti sequence of manoeuvres. The Aresti catalog is the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) standards document containing the aerobatic manoeuvres permitted in aerobatic competition. It was upon arrival of the aircraft that I was brought into the equation. I was approached by friends of the pilot, to produce a model of his aircraft that he could use to plan and run through manoeuvres prior to taking to the air. The Revell boxing of the Jungmann was to be the basis of the aircraft, but there would be a number of changes along the way to try and make the model more durable. -
