Anything Wurger related i'm in!

And i'll probably die of old age before they actually release them

Lucky you. The A5/6/7 series are rocking horse doo dar to get.

Why is it flogging a dead horse? There is only one kit out there in 1/32 and unless you import it (with associated import tax risks) it is like hens teeth to get on selling sites.

Lots of companies have 'stated' their intent to make XYZ kit. But the proof is in the pudding. Until they do, it's just speculation.

They also make kits that are too complicated with many parts that will never see the light of day again once made up. Not for me thanks. The Hornet is a lovely looking aircraft but personally i think Kontare should get some highly rated mainstream kits under their belt before doing some 'left field' aircraft

Personally i hope that Kontare go the 'Axis' route next. A new modern tooling of a Fw190 D9 to replace the Hasegawa(Revell) kit would be greatly received imho.

Seen a post by Clunkmeister over on LSM that Jerry has sadly passed away. Totally gutted. Condolences to Judy and her family

I have the same plans too. I have had a conversation with John regarding these aircraft and our very own Max very kindly did a set of masks for Ju88 A17 1H+VH from 1./KG26 based in Norway 1944. I need the time (and space) for this project, but really would like to give it a go.

All these planned AM bits for an already massively expensive kit just makes me laugh. Thought this kit was supposed to be perfection itself.

Thanks for the thought. Would cost an absolute fortune to get it shipped to the UK. Plus i do have two Ju88 A4 kits already but they are put aside for two AIMS conversions (C6 Dayfighter and G6 Nightfighter). I'm really after a He111 H6 but they go for totally stupendous amounts of money. Way out of my price range.

I'd be happy if they'd just re-do thier own kits such as the Ju88 and He111 series.

But the A6 kits are like rocking horse poo. Virtually impossible to get hold of.

Cheers guys. I only ask as trying to get hold of an A6 kit is like rocking horse poo.

I have a Hasegawa Fw190 A5 kit but i would love to have an A6 (Checker Nose). Is it possible to convert the A5 kit (ST23) into an A6 easily?

Like Troy, i would also like to thank you for your kindness in making me a Ju88 G6 conversion. I look forward to it arriving and when it does, it will move right up to the top of my build list. I just hope i can do it justice. Take it easy and i hope you are as pain free as is possible under the circumstances. Thank you again.

Words i never thought i'd see in the same sentence

And very nice kits they make indeed. Especially their Panzer IVs

Really enjoyed that. Used to play Warbirds Online and it takes me back to those great days

I am trying to find information on the Ju88 a17 aircraft, in particular the cockpit area. I know the lower gondola was remove and a panel inserted where it should have been. But i cannot find any pictures/drawings of this panel as to what it looked like from inside and outside. Any body happen to have those pics/drawings if there is some?

Whilst i would love to have one purely to say i have a 1/32 Lanc, I for one could never justify buying or building one. To me it is just a totally stupid and ridiculous price for a model kit. How many people are also going to buy AM for it, thus increasing it's price? Most of what you'd be building/painting is going to be hidden. Much like a ZM kit really. I also know my skill limitations and could never do something like this justice. Even if i did it to my best standard, in the end i would still be disappointed because it just wouldn't be good enough. That is presuming i would actually finish it. It's so big and would take so long to build, i can see it would end up on the S.O.D. and i just don't want that conversation with SWMBO So for those of you who can afford to buy it and the even fewer who will actually build it, more power to you. But spouting off that this is the end all and B all imho is just rubbish. Each person is different and i would rather have 10 Fw190 kits built than just 1 Lanc (as much as i love the Lanc).

I would also like to add PJ that you have been nothing but patient, informative and helpful to me throughout the conversations we've had on here and through emails regarding the Ju88 and also your products. It has been, and will continue to be, a pleasure to know you. On a side note. If you ever do re-make a Ju88 G6 conversion. then please send me a pm. I'm still after one. Take care and rest easy. You've earned it.

Absolutely gutted PJ. I was really hoping you were on the mend so the 110 and Ju88 sets could come around again. Health comes first though Any thought of outsourcing the moulds?

Excellent job. I also now know who you are on Scalemates lol
