A reasonably fair review, written in 2006. But, you have to remember this kit is nearly thirty years old, and Hobbycraft were newcomers then. Their kits do tend to be basic in parts, and detail, what there is, minimal and edging towards heavy and crude. However, the outside surface detail and general arrangement tends to be rather good, and the main thing is, once built, given that care is taken, they make nice models. If it looks right, who cares if it's a basic kit? That's modelling - add your own detail, anyone can throw a bunch of pre-made PE parts etc into a kit, but it's not the same as doing it yourself.
The pictures in the review tell their own story - it might have taken work, but it looks like a D017Z to me !
I have to admit though, it is rather pricey today, by current standards, at around £27 in the UK.

I pulled it off the shelf and said whats the price....

There's ONE on Ebay right now for 80$ US so I think Harrison scored big time!

Pete, the choice of Category is up to you; rank yourself as you see fit mate. Coming soon in the 'BoB Bits Box' will be info on all Luftwaffe units. I'm hoping I'll have time to include some profiles, possibly my own, along with a selection of unit markings, although the latter will probably be in a separate part. I've just posted the listings of Luftwaffe aircraft involved in the Battle.

 

[B-17engineer]

Did Do-17m/p participate? Scored one of the hobbycraft kits for 30 dollars

 

[imalko]

Check Terry's thread about BoB Harry. He recently posted a PDF file with list of Luftwaffe aircraft taking part in the battle.

Heck, and I spent time scanning and posting pics of KG3 Stab for Harrison's request in another post, and there was a profile on the forum all this time - from our very own Clave!
Harrison.............

 

[B-17engineer]

Might be interesting doing a model of her Jan, but it would be difficult finding the proper squadron codes!
