NPL Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 You are teasing us who have to wait until after Christmas to get close to this kit! But fine model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josip Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I've never seen this type of aerodynamic rear view mirror. I wonder why wasn't it adopted on later marks? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanC Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I think I'll buy this kit just for the pilot figure and his seat straps...! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly the otherwise great pilot of the kit has the typical toilet habit of the figures of the1970s: 2 hands on 2 legs and pressing!😑 So i cut him in pieces to get a vivid move and opened the mouth for a smile🙂 BTW the Kit is on sale since November, in Germany nearly sold out. A second batch is under way as TE said... Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie(kinda) Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Fantastic. Love the animated pilot figure, really adds to the 'feel' of your build; especially in that second picture. It looks like one helluva kit; I'm going to have to get (at least) one! Was it a fun, hassle free build (it certainly looks that way)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Andrew, yes it was big, short 34 hrs fun despite riveting, pilot changes and some extra detailing. Best fitting kit i ever had...

Lightningboy2000 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Lovely Spit! That was quick! Did the Braun 1000 watt help the paint dry quicker? 😉 I've heard that many people nick the wife's hairdryer as part of the painting process?!!

Hello Martin, i use the Föhn only to drive the props, only cold and low power, not to melt or blow them away! Cheers, Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybershed Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Nice one! The 'animated' pilot adds a nice touch. As does the spinning prop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Christopher Nolans Dunkirk with the voice of Sir Michael Caine and rememberd him starring in Battle of Britain (Luftschlacht um England, was the german cinema title) i saw as boy. Since then i am fan, so i could not resist... Cheers, Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
