Kit...



One question I'm sure somebody here will be able to answer, what size would 1/32 swastikas be for this one? Revell don't supply any. I have a decal sheet of various sizes.



I won't be starting it till i get back from the US, so you should see some pics in the 1st week of september.

Very cool Keith!

I'll take a picture with a ruler to compare the swastikas that came with my Stuka as they varied in size from plane to plane.

Bueautiful, I love the camo pattern.

[Heinz]

Looks a great kit Keith!

[muller]

Cheers Cory!

One of my favourite schemes too Viking

Heinz, it's ancient apparently, early 70's so its as old as me!

[109ROAMING]

I'm in the same boat then Keith...I wouldn't say we're ancient though, we just remember how the dinosaurs used to chase us home from school, that's all...

Looks like a great kit! Interesting scheme...

[Wayne Little]

An ancient kit huh?....hope you do well with it!

@ Evan

I haven't taken it out of the bag yet Wayne so I don't know what its like, I might have to send it over to Terry for some interior scratchbuilding magic!

[Wurger]

Anyway the choice is good.The next big fun...:L

[muller]

Had a closer look at the kit, raised panel lines, LOTS of rivets....... The interior seems ok though.

I've emailed the site in Canada that supplied Terry's razor-saw about getting a saw and scribing tool, they also do a riveting tool, if the shipping costs are ok I might get all three and I might try *gulp* rescribing it!

Nice one Keith! I was looking for that kit, or the 21st Century kit, as a possible for this GB. The Revell one is the same era as my Beaufighter, first issued around 1974, so a bit older than you think. From what i remember though, the outline, shape etc is accurate. The swastikas would be either 25mm or 20mm square in this scale. I'll post a diagream of the standard layout instructions for Luftwaffe markings elsewhere in the Modelling Section.

Cheers Terry! I got a reply from UMM-USA, postage is only a few dollars so i'm ordering the surgical tools

Check out the gallery on the site mentioned above, there are some beautiful builds there, the guy that runs the company is a master modeller himself, his AC-130H is amazing!
