Mike Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 This Great Wall Hobby's new kit in 1:48, built pretty close to OOB, but for some scratch-building in the cockpit area. It's a great kit with some funny build sequences, but don't let those frighten you off The full build can be found here if you're interested Review sample courtesy of 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfpack Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Mike Are you sure the codes are the right way round on the stbd boom? Luftwaffe stuff reads the same both side as far as I remember. W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Looks very impressive Mike - and what a brave choice of subject by GWH... Cliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExRAF Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 A great looking model, but I wouldn't fancy tackling the masking for that glazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 MikeAre you sure the codes are the right way round on the stbd boom? Luftwaffe stuff reads the same both side as far as I remember. W At times I just blithely followed the instructions, which show the codes thusly, and the underside crosses lining up with the leading edge. Having looked at some refs since decaling, it looks like the majority of the underside crosses were lined up with the trailing edge, although a few pics could have been lined up with the front , so I'm not going to dig 'em out and check now... it's too late by far A great looking model, but I wouldn't fancy tackling the masking for that glazing. If you're not fond of masking, there's a set of pre-cut masks in the box, but I still made my own because I preferred to cut them to fit exactly Looks very impressive Mike - and what a brave choice of subject by GWH... They're quite left-field overall, and that's to be applauded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Vale Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) Just found this through the links at the bottom of your posts. Absolutely excellent finish and a really interesting plane. You know a build's good when it makes you go and read about the real one, and think about getting the same kit.

Thunderjug Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I have to say I like that a lot. Do the steps come in the kit because they are a work of art in there own right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 Thanks guys Do the steps come in the kit because they are a work of art in there own right. They do - in fact, because of the duplication of sprues, you get two of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
