Cool, Jerry...gonna ask outright, are you going to use the set of Galland Decals? let me know if you aren't, would love to take them off your hands...

 

[Wurger]

Looking interesting.

 

[Airframes]

Should be good Jerry - have a look at my comparison review with this kit and the old Matchbox kit, which shows how many areas need attention. Also, IIRC, the kit's instruction sheet is partly incorrect for the decal placement on Bertram's aircraft.
Also, could you please edit the data block in the title post, to include the scale, for judging purposes later. Thanks.

Great choice Jerry and it looks like you have a captive audience.

 

[Wayne Little]

Wayne i would be happy to send them to you i will cut out what i need.

Thanks Jerry, anything you chasing for the future? PM incoming mate.

 

[Nxthanos]

Its a classic kit, haven't seen one built in years.

 

[Airframes]

Jerry, I can send the review in a PDF if you can PM me an e-mail address. It might be worth it, as there is a lot to do to get it looking like the 'Emil' !
The origins of the kit go back to 'Frog', in the late 1960s, and there are many areas which are just 'wrong'. That said, it doesn't look too bad OOB.

 

[Airframes]

I've e-mailed the info Jerry, and checked the Hasegawa instruction sheet for the decal placement. As I thought, it's incorrect. The swastika should be in the 'old' position, partly on the fin, part on the rudder, with the rudder hinge line bisecting it. If you're stuck, let me know and 'I'll post a pic of it on his aircraft.

Off to a nice start. Looking good.

 

[woody]

Thank you guy's starting to fit fuse together which aint going real well.

 

[Wayne Little]

[Airframes]

Yep, looks OK in the pic.

 

[brucejscott]

The fuselage looks pretty good to me but I hope thats not your blood all over the bench.

 

[Catch22]

Yeah, that looks a bit nasty! Hope you've got all of your digits.

 

[woody]
