John1 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 HS has a preview of Fundekals upcoming sheet for this kit. Looks great, 48 pages of info / instructions. I’m so getting these! Only folks that went this in-depth on a decal sheet were Aviology. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for the record, *nobody* else has gone to the lengths of research we've gone to. The instruction manual for this decal is 48 pages long Never looked there. I’m still a newbie around here. Bummer on needing to source those large drop tanks from another kit. Maybe someone will offer them up in resin. Good research at your end either way....

The aircraft was mount of Friedrich-Karl “Nasen” Müller while assigned to Nachtjagdgeschwader 11. Machine was employed as a 'Wild Boar' night fighter and Mosquito hunter. The machine was allegedly equipped with a P-38 Lightning drop tank and oblique firing weapons (Schrage Musik). I believe Müller dispelled the notion of the oblique weapons in an interview, but stated that the the aircraft was equipped with a 30 mm cannon. Edited July 26, 2018 by RBrown LSP_K2 and D.B.

mhorina Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I believe the large P-38 tanks are included in the Hasegawa P-47 kits and the Trumpeter Razorback P-47 kit also has them and may be in the other Trump 47s also.

Mike Horina I just checked my Trumpeter Razorback P-47 and Hasegawa P-47D and both kits have the large 150 drop tanks, how accurate they are I cant testify to though. But glad I have them as a starting point at least. Thanks for mentioning them and those kits as I'd never have thought to look in those boxes and I've already started a looking for thread in the buy and sell forums. D'oh!

The ones in the HB P-61 lack all detail, including filler caps. Hopefully yes, but happy to know I at least have a few back ups in place for now. With the imminent release of the decals the Corsair is nearing the top of my next victim pile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any timeline for when you might have the initial art for those subjects released, as you did for the upcoming sheet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the instructions be posted sooner or at the same time? Good luck on the decals, hope they sell well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have a printed copy at our table in Phoenix. Happy to see this is coming along. I am looking foreword to the instructions alone. Your sheet is the reason I will buy a F4U-1D and build it. I actually go on the site and read all of your instruction sheets just to learn from the work you have done. I can’t build everything but I enjoy looking. I plan to use one of your sheets for a Spitfire IX also. Since posting above, I have had a chance to look at these online and they are stunning. I started reading the instructions that go with them and this will keep Corsair fans working hard. One certain fan on this site may have to start all over building Corsairs.
