Good one Kevin.
The GB ends on Sunday, March 5th, so not a lot of time left.

I will march on brother it has hit the desk all my builds of late have been 1/72 and Italeri got them all on sale at Sprue Bros awhile back.

Nice subject! I want to try my hand at one of those down the road, in 1:48 of course!

They have the 1/32 at the LHS for $50(look up Wayne's) but even a 1/48 would tempt me to much for details ATTM .I have got the pit,wings,tail surfaces and wheels glued together.Tomorrow night I paint RLM02 and details and put the fuse together sand the leading and trailing edges of the wings and tail planes.I could almost catch the deadline if I picked a simple scheme but really want to pay attention to the Free-French scheme which the hand-paint will probably take 4-8 hours I think?

Good luck! Looks like it comes with a little book...care to share the contents of it if you have the time?

I will when the build is complete it's about 20pages give or take Nice pics of the schemes hence the FF pic.

Anyone have any other reference material about the markings on the fuse not using the white?also ordinance layout ?I would apply some tome to the search but something I am fighting.Thks in advance

Looks like a nice kit Kevin. You'll have to do some speed building to get it done

 

[Robert Porter]

MENG is working on a kit where you pour some paint in the box, then shake for 3 minutes, open the box and kit done!
