What an amazing and interesting haul.

 

[Totalize]

Received the border models Stuka which is a new release and was wondering if anyone here knows of any decal makers doing 1/35 decals for this kit? The two options it comes with are both for Ernst Rudel at Kursk and in 1944 and I don't want to do a model in markings of an ardent Nazi.

1/35.

1/35.

Very unusual scale for an aircraft (helicopters are not aircraft)

Here here . Good call i think. But on the other hand the man was there.

Just received....

.....to be done thusly....

Though the above Groundhog is a -D model and the kit is a K/N version, Eduard has provided enough parts to do almost every variant. Apparently there is a green band under the fuselage star but I've found nothing yet. The photo does confirm a band. The front wheel looks interesting as well

fubar57 are you sure all the parts are there for the D? Those weekend edition kits are lean versions of the Profipack kits so no PE or masks and more limited decal options. Not sure if they toss some sprues to boot.

 

[fubar57]

Ignoring the P.E. and masks, the one on top has the -D version included and the lower on is mine

​

There is a review somewhere that says all version can be made though I can't remember where. It may have been an IPMS site

​

 

[Wurger]

Actually the Eduard doesn't offer the D variant as a separate kit.

Its the "P-39 Airacobra over New Guinea" Dual Combo kit. D, N, Q versions

Its the "P-39 Airacobra over New Guinea" Dual Combo kit. D, N, Q versions

Depending on the decal markings and PE set included. Basicly all Eduard kits for P-39 are the kit no. 8061 for Bell P-400 Airacobra. In the case of the Eduard 1152 "P-39 Airacobra over New Guinea" just two plastic kits and two PE sets were put into one box. So you may make the D, N and Q variant.

These are the first four of seven markings in the dual combo kit

[Wurger]

Yes ... I know.
Here you are the extract from the kit manual showing which PE parts you need to use for the cockpit in order to get the correct variant. Certainly the decal markings are the "external attribute" for the chosen vesion. Of course there are the plastic parts coming with the kit sprues that let make the model appearance as close as possible to the correct variant. So your kit for the K/L kite is OK as it contains all the plastic parts for K,L,N,Q and the D version. You will need the decal markings for the D plane and/or the PE zoom set with the pieces for the D cockpit if you want be more accurate in the area.

Well I still haven't played with it but here it is. I found it a Gundam place in Florida for $54 +tax. Just under $60 total.

I look on with envy, nice purchase mate and will probably pay for itself in no time.
