Threadbear Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) My original plan was a couple of jet trainers but whilst perusing EBay came across the little Bestmann, a side by side trainer from the Luftwaffe. Turns out the Swiss had some interned ones which were painted up in their red/white neutrality markings, so I am going with that. https://goo.gl/images/Q6Q3eZ Edited February 9, 2019 by Threadbear 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Great choice and another unusual one at that. I can understand how a combat aircraft came down in Switzerland but a trainer can only have been a navigational error, that was going to take some explaining if you were allowed to go home ! Look forward to seeing this one getting built cheers Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Guess if it was a navigational training flight that student failed Seriously though, this should make for a colourful subject Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threadbear Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 A few photos of the Special Hobby Bucker Bu181 Bestmann it looks nicely moulder, however I haven’t built a limited production kit before, but looks a simple build. For some reason I didn’t take a photo of the wings sprue. Aim to start this week. Regards Grahame 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
