Thom216 Posted June 14, 2020 Posted June 14, 2020 Impatience is a terrible thing! Can't wait to see her started.
Wez Posted June 17, 2020 Posted June 17, 2020 Rod, I was a bit concerned when I saw "early 1945", that the subject wouldn't fit the timeline, fortunately a quick Google reveals that it did indeed survive the war so it's eligible for the GB. Welcome to the GB and good luck with your build. 1

vppelt68 Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 DeFi-Nitely fantastic Mah Ideel on its way . Those etch sets really improve the rather basic, but correct, Airfix kit. Thank you for showing us how much they improve it, too, as plenty of us modellers show the aftermarket they buy but few show what they do with it . Personally I hate etch and am completely incompatible with it but I admire those that know how to use it! V-P Edit P.S. Which machine gun barrel set did you use? It was not a "roll your own" etch, wasn´t it? Those Airfix Legoish barrels really need a change!

Rod The Fixer Posted September 20, 2020 Author Posted September 20, 2020 Tail Turret before the assembly: Kit ready for the black primer 2
Jens Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 It looks like you have a huge step in the joint between the main fuselage and the tail turret. I had that on mine too. Why Airfix couldn't creat anything better than that is beyond me! Jens
