  1. This seller also offers two other HobbyBoss / Trumpeter kits, which he describes as having been assembled for a hobby show (aka Nuremberg Toy Fair). I never heard of stuff having been given away after the show, but given the state of those it could have been. I, for myself, wouldn't bother to take these crude build kits back home to China...

     

    on on the A-26: the guns of the upper turret, is it correct that those move up in slots? IIRC this could have been an error in the Monogram 1/48 kit, also?!?

  2. I guess Radu is right. I also thought about an ammo container having seen the  hanlde on the kit´s instruction.

    Found this here on alarmy:

    Here is a closer view of how it is attached to the front canopy:

    Seems it makes use of the same triangular attachment brackets as did the compass on the A-1. I had to scratch this in my build.

    ...If the complete fuselage without wings was camouflaged separately, I can certainly believe they wouldn’t bother taking the time to mask off the wing root or making an effort to spray around the root freehand.  Easier to just keep going with the pattern.

    At least that´s the way I would do it! When my ancestors decided not to bother masking such areas, this, IMHO, shows efficiency in wartime. And no, I don´t think we lost the war because such things, hehe...  ;)

    Thanks Kevin. Yes sirree I know about that kit. I think that there's another one available too but the manufacturer escapes me  at the moment. There's no way I could build something like that because of my lack of display cases that big. lol! 

     

    Joe, the only other one I know would be MDC's Ar 234. A full resin kit, designed by artist Radu Brinzan. Having seen both kits I tend to say Radu's is the better one, imho. I have got my hands on it, so, if you would be interested in details, you know where to find me! 

  5. So I am back here on this so informative topic, only to see the the "forum´s menace" has struck again... Initially I wanted to thank all for this valuable exchange of information and help, but now I am somehow shocked to see Vincent remove his contributions.

    I feel sad that a fine thread has gone down the drain. As another no-native speaker I think I can understand the problems of people interacting in a language that isn´t their mother tongue. Too bad this sometime gets personal, with consequences for all of us who enjoyed the information shared here alot, especially yours, Vincent! Don´t know what to say, I feel sad.

     

    @ Vincent: I hope you might be able to have your posts restored. What a loss for many of us because of this!

    LSM has a sample and will be posted in the next day or so. No need to understand German to follow it. 

     

    Ah, the benefit of being a native German speaker! :P

     

    A video review of my favourite German model shop, one of the most large ones we have here. It has been said that the first limited edition of this kit will comprise not only clear parts for the front fuselage, but also the complete rear one! Fit of those parts is mentioned (and shown) as excellent.

     

    They couldn´t show the wings, for they haven´t been in their first samples due to not having been ready for shipment then. Modellbau König will do another video when the wings have been arrived.

     

    What I am really impressed are the amazingly polished clear parts! On the other hand, not having seen the kit parts in reality myself, the non-clear fuselage parts could possibly have been done from the same moulds as the clear ones, means, those are highly smooth on the outside, too. Could possibly need some primer for acrylics to bite. But we will see.

     

    MBK expects their first kits in October. Their website mentions the kit to be available for sale from beginning to middle November 2018. Price is given as Euro 359.00, not taken into account the benefits a power-buyer as me gets from them...  :coolio:

    359.00 Euro equals 413.92 USD, or 586.89 AUD for our Aussie friends.

     

    I personally prefer such video reviews due to the possibility to have a look at kit parts from different angles. As being German, for me there is no need to understand English to follow it (though I do).  :whistle:

    What happens when you try to download it? I think these problems must be down to security settings on individual machines or browsers (or possibly local network firewalls), as it's the only way to account for the variability. The download definitely works, but not for everybody! :hmmm:

     

    Kev

     

    On the first try simply nothing happened. When I tried now, after your reply, the new page opened and showed the download link.

  8. I am in no way connected to Peddinghaus, but I have made no negative experiences when doing my Ju 88 build. My sheet of Balkenkreuze and stencils had a continuous carrier film, but I expected this. What  I did notice was how incredible thin those decals have been, in a positive way. So, nothing to complain.

     

    So far I haven´t used any of his other sets. Maybe there has been a change in material or manufacture, reading the comments above?!?
