Here's what the kit looks like.
Instruction book and suggested aircraft

Thinking hard about the first one (79) just because I like the bomb. Anyone who would put that much work into art that will never be seen once used, well that one crazy son well you know.

X2 ea for the next two trees.



Even includes a stand


Kit decals, while a small set they are good, printed in Italy

Oh and I do have an Eduard Brassin engine, it's a kit unto itself. I haven't really decided on it as looking at the kit it's self, seems half the build is the engine. I don't know yet lets see.

At present, I have only been able to find one photo of the suggested bird. and to say a little worse for the ware. So where did they get the idea for the sharks teeth on the bomb I wonder?

Germans did do drawings on bombs. Specialy early war. But always with chalk.

Yeah it's a long tradition by anyone who ever dropped a bomb. But this is the kit depicted bomb.


I would love to see photograph evidence.

No. No color. Just photograph documentation. Black and white, 50 shades of Grey will do. Just like to see that bomb. Was is real or where did Revell get it from?

Getting started the instructions call for holes to be drilled in the lower wing section. I have chosen to do it with the out board bomb rack instead of the wing tanks. so I drilled according to the B plan.

Next working out of order I started on the engine. The kit provides a pretty nice engine with out the Eduard selection, but after I got going I'm not so sure.

Two rows of cylinders with just the inner section as the back. I cleaned up and attempted to mate the first set (aft I think row) and it was so tight I broke one cylinder off.

so I glued it back on and sanded the inner section down and retried and re-sanded etc... got it to fit but my sanding was not uniform and it doesn't look so good. If I don't open up the engine no biggie as even in thei scale it won't be seen.

You won't see any of that so no worries.
