Nice clean job on a 418 Mosquito... Mark Proulx

This project ever finished? Mark

Still in business?

Title says it all. Does anyone do a 1/32nd scale resin conversion to create an early Bf 109 (A thru D)? I believe there was in the past but I can't remember it... Mark Proulx

Yes, this one of two 109 F's that were modified for Galland. The other had guns mounted in the wings. Mark Proulx

So....anyone compared the 32nd scale kits yet???? Andrea, BTW, and my opinion only (others welcome to disagree and some will), accuracy counts for lots. I can forgive a millimeter here or there, but the additional fuselage length depicted here is well outside my comfort zone. Mark Proulx

Glad I didn't opt for the 24th scale kit...though I really wanted the G! Mark Proulx

Ok. I assumed it meant for me as you posted immediately after me.. Too many Marks I guess Mark Proulx

Actually, I never said I had access to both kits, because I don't. Otherwise I would do so... But I am eagerly waiting for someone to do so! Mark Proulx

Well, by looking at the side view photo and making a judgment solely on that (that is all I have at the moment), the Trumpeter kit does look to be "off". In my opinion, the stretch of the rear fuselage in error (again, based on visual sighting only and not measurement). However, I would like to compare it to plans for 100% confirmation. The "looks wrong" critique doesn't conclude the issue for me. There is too much of that on the 'net. So, at this time I am leaning towards agreeing with Andrea, but not 100% certain...yet... I wonder how the Trumpeter 32nd scale Stukas match up to Revell and Hasegawa? Mark Proulx

First, we have to determine if Trumpeter "screwed the pooch" on the 24th scale kit. Until we do, by cross referencing to plans (or the 24th scale Airfix kit which has not rcvd critique, though it too could be faulty), we have no idea where, or if, a cut is needed... Mark Proulx

Actually, Revell has also displayed at this show their new 1/32nd scale Fw 190 "Sturmbock". Photos available on the 'net. It is a May 2019 release. Mark Proulx

I think a typing error, as you have suggested, generated by a girl working in the EE office can be overlooked... Mark Proulx

Agree with the above. We need to see a comparison photo of the Airfix and Trumpeter fuselage side by side to make a determination and see exactly where the problem is, if one is identified. Mark Proulx

Stukas retained RLM 70/71/65 throughout the war. However, RLM 65 took on more of a green tint. Mark Proulx
