Going to watch this one closely. If you ever find a 1/48 let me know, I just have too many 1/48s to switch horsies now

Didn't they do a 1/48 BV-222 in the 60s or 70s?


If you really want one, theres a Vacu Form 1/48 on the big auction site for sale now

Rogi, many thanks, I saw that one. You get a fuselage, wings and a tail and NOTHING else. All the rest has to be scratch built. There are some here equal to that but I am far, far from that skill level. H*ll Bells I doubt if I could make a machine gun barrel from a dowel rod!

My, my, that looks like a big one - as the actress said to the Bishop !
Should be a good one Wayne, and cries out for a water diorama.

Weird quirk about the instructions, IIRC the front view drawing shows the diesel engine machines, but the kit comes with radials.

Can't really imagine going back to 1/72 scale myself looking at that little turret. Good work so far Wayne.
