Mike Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 You're right of course... I think I meant to say "no swastikas of the type seen on most pictures" the white outline ones, but then I zoned out and typed what ended up in the review. I cannot be taken anywhere without having to go back to apologise - at least it shows you're reading the reviews Edited 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tank152 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I believe the Ho229 is going to be their next 1/48 kit they release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antoine Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I've only got the original Navy version Antoine if that's ok? I'll get with it once I've caught up a bit on the current review pile. BTW just to add what Mike has been saying, the 229 is a fabulous kit, I was well chuffed when my example arrived, even though I had had a sneak preview of Mike's kit when I popped by after Telford. Was just kidding Dave, but if you have time, yes please, that will just be fine, as I think that there's not so much differences between the two boxes? In fact, I hesitate between trumpeter and ZM for an A-1J, and maybe you could help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot be taken anywhere without having to go back to apologise - at least it shows you're reading the reviews Edited I think the "white outline" types in the photos are not authentic anyway - they were added by US personnel. In situ (US Army photo): In storage at the Smithsonian (note the T2-490 inventory number as well): I've also read that the wing panels that the NASM are in possession of don't mate very well with this airframe. They were jury-rigged for a base display in 1946, but may not have actually belonged to it (I like the Coke bottle by the front tyre though!): Cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry about that Steve I think the "white outline" types in the photos are not authentic anyway - they were added by US personnel.Bill You're most probably right - the pics show both the Swastikas and stencils in the same or similar shade of white, don't they?
