  1. Hi Guys, thanks for the replys, I have the kit parts, but was looking for the corrected wide chord rudders.
  2. Hi, I'm looking for some replacement rudders for the Revell 1/32 Bf110G, any one any ideas where i might get some?.
  3. Hello, this is a fantastic thread, lots of detail, I have yet to buy the 1/32 Ju88, but have plenty of 1/48th scale kits. Ref the RAF Museum's Ju88 and indeed most of the other ex Luftwaffe aircraft, the powers that be just aren't interested having the aircraft displayed in correct colours or state, I was a volunteer with the restoration team for many years and carried out a lot of research into the aircraft, advising my team leader on what equipment was missing, what the correct camouflage colours were etc, but even though some of the equipment was available we were never allowed to fit it. Prior to the Battle of Britain video display going in, we had a long time conservation project underway, arresting corrosion and the like, but as soon as the video went in, all work stopped, there are still parts lying around in the various aircraft that never got put back due to time constraints, the video show took priority over work on the aircraft. In the last few years health & safety reared it's ugly head, we weren't allowed to work above head height, nor were we allowed into the cockpits or fuselage (due to the radiation risks from the instruments), there are still cockpit parts inside the Fw190 that I removed , but was never allowed to refit, they are still lying loose on the floor. The Me262 is missing the covers from the wingtip nav lights( the parts fitted are British post war items), the onsite engineer ordered replicas from the 262 people in the states, but when asked about fitting them, he was told, that to do so would take away some of the originality of the aircraft, needless to say, a few months after hearing this I left the team.
