Well I was going to build my Italeri Me 323 Gigant for this built. I hear quite a few are at the bottom of the Mediterranean to this day. When I tried to find info on the plane depicted in the kit zilch. My next choice was the Dornier but again, when I tried to find info on the specific planes in the kit zilch again. Found quite a bit on the French version and the Spanish version offered in the kit but nothing on the three versions of Luftwaffe ones which is what I'm most interested in. I think I'll build the version marked "B". The version marked "A" appealed to me but I seem to have developed a slight aversion to yellow paint.
Great pictures. I found some on " Rod's Warbirds" as well. I think I'll just wing it. It's curious to see how clean and tidy the planes look. I would have thought there would have been more signs of heavy paint chipping and so on along the water lines. I plan on scratch building some beaching gear as well. The kit just comes with a clear plastic cheesy stand. At least I have a better idea what it looks like !
I suppose I could say I hated German cars, or the people that designed them. Wishy washy OBD2 systems and every year one of them would re-invent the bolt and you would have to buy another $40.00 Snap On socket to work on them. They never swiped any bacon though just killed a few brain cells !
Thanks for the offer. The cockpit glass is quite good, fairly thin and very clear, the port hole glass, a joke ! They stick out well past the frames and have divots in the middle. I tried filling them in with some future but they look awful !
