Calling Dr. Wurger! Calling Dr. Wurger! We have a Bf 110 with a seriously dropping dyhedrial!!

 

[Wurger]

Thank you gents.A little bit busy with my work these days but it will be continued.

Don't tell people at work Wojtek - they might ask you to modify some of their aircraft!! I can see it now "And this is our latest up-grade to the Air Force, the F16.5. It's longer, taller, thinner and faster, and....."

With the add of WU to the name representing Wurger/Wojtek Upgrade....like F 16WU-7! 8)

But I'm sure you know that old beans " Only born fools start a war and they wage war only but they never follow the practician's advice."

 

[Maximowitz]

What can I say? The Wurgermeister in action. I suspect he holds seances and is in touch with Kurt Tank personally on a spiritual level.

 

[Lucky13]

Something like that....

Did he forget to mention the small inset, at the tailwheel, was in the wrong
place, too ? Is that a tail wheelwell ???

[Wurger]

You are right My Friend.It is incorrect as well just like these horizontal stabilizer roots that are at an unproper place and too short for corrected stabilizers.Here some pics to show what I'm talking about.The stabilizer is still not fitted finally.Generally these kit stabilizers are of incorrect lenght and shape.What is more their leading edges are of incorrect angle to the fuselage central line.

Like Dan, I wonder why the kit maker doesn't check the aircraft blue-prints
so his models would be more accurate. If I built this kit, out of the box, it
would not look anything like the real thing.

Even Hasegawa,Tamiya and many more "very good" firms make mistakes.The kit isn't for old and well experienced modellers but it is for quite young ones.Taking its price into consideration and its ,at glance, very good quality the kit can be very intersting for them

So ur basically playin around with kiddie toys Wojtek???

 

[Heinz]

Its not that bad. It fits well and is an ok representaion of the model. By no means is it perfect.

I think the rule of thumb with kit building/modelling is doing the best you can do with the provided subject.

 

[109ROAMING]

With Heinz on this

looking good Wojtek

 

[Screaming Eagle]

Wojtek, the man!

i enjoyed building this same kit and with the naked untrained eye the only thing you can really tell is wrong with it is the very long undercart legs, (have a look in my black 5 thread)

As you can see Dan there are many opinions about the kit ( see above) .There are people who like the kind of kits.Most of people is convinced that these bigger and quite expensive models are the best in all the world and don't even try to check if it is true..But sadly it is not true.Even your Dora when comparing to drawings can appear not enough accurate ( have you check her?) .Look at Marek's Ju-87 which seems to be really great.But even there have to be introduced corrections in order to make the model better.What is more, an excellent fitting of all parts in a kit doesn't mean the kit is nice, am I right?
Another thing is a question if plastic kits are toys at all.If yes it means that our modelling is a play with the kiddie ones.But I think they aren't.All kits are a semi-matrial for models.It depends on us and our skills only what the final effect can be achieved.

BTW The main task for a modeller is to make a model as close to the reality as it is possible.
