Username: Bustedwing
First name: Graham
Category: Advanced
Manufacturer: Italeri
Kit Goths G0 242/244
Scale: 1:72
Add ons. Some scratch built details and and after market decal set ( if I can find one)

This will be the second go at this kit for me. I built the 242 version several years ago. I picked this kit up off E Bay Years ago as well. It has been started but only the tail booms have been glued together. A lot of the parts have been separated from the trees but it looks to be all there except the decal sheet that looks like it was discovered by Howard Carter !

What I need to find is some cockpit pics. Pedals gauges etc. So far I've found exactly one ! I see some creative liberties coming up !

Thought as much, seeing the level of your models. But is a " just in case " reply. Looking forward to your progress.

Well it's a start. Cleaned up the cockpit floor and used a razor saw to scratch some wood grain texture on it. Primed everything with Testors RLM 79 and then used oil paints to create a wood appearance. The Blitz wont fit so it's back to the 323.
