Lovely model of an unusual subject. Beautifully built and painted.

It looks a purposeful and promising design but I suspect that it was somewhat outdated by the time of it's combat debut - although I note that it may have had some success according to some sources.

 

Cheers

Beautiful model of what looks like an elegant 1930s touring machine.

 

Must have taken a particularly feisty quartet of pilots to intercept 400 four-engines with a total of eight rifle calibre machine guns…

 

Kind regards,

 

Joachim

  I have never tackled a planet models kit and was wondering what it was like to build?

It is on the one hand a simple set (few parts) and on the other hand a difficult one (weak fitting and bubbles in the cast)
