    Wonder if they will sell the electronics separately? I've got two Ju-88s in the stash and I'm not sure that I would buy another for all of the gizmos.

    Thanks for the great review! I've got the Trumpy K and G-6 in the stash, so I will certainly be buying these wheels. I just emailed Roy begging for some 1/24 Emil style wheels. I've got five Airfix Es in the stash that need new wheels, and of course, they would be good for the Trumpy G-2 or anyone (like me) back dating the kt to a F.

    For anyone that's interested, Trumpeter 1/24 Ju-87A now released according to Britmodeller. Apologies if this has already been mentioned.

    That mystery HGW part. It's not supposed to be a cushion for the back of the seat is it?

    Although not a completely NMF airframe, I'm still voting for this...

    Welcome to the forum!
     
    Good observation on the photo. It does indeed look as if the spinner back plate is painted red. It's an exact match for the cheat line.
     
    I'm sure others will add their thoughts.

    Although I can appreciate fully both sides of opinion on the base, I like the mirrored version much more. It focuses totally on the airframe and allows full observation.
     
    The only distraction maybe other objects reflecting in the mirror.
     
    Looks lovely though.....

    ....There you go! Told you so!   
     
    Nice work on the base though. If that's a first try, then I doff my cap to you! Looks very nice indeed, but I get what you're saying. Maybe you could use it for an LRDG diorama or somthing?
     
    Is that the most complete we've seen the Spit so far? Looks gorgeous!

    Just seemed like the logical choice to me. I mean, just look at the detail in those wheel wells alone! Be a shame not to be able to see every inch of this model.

    I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO going to Telford this year! I am going to be Peter's number one fan boy....I might even dress up as a cheerleader. Now that will scare off the opposition. Not that there's going to be any competition this year!
     
    Radu: Top work on those masks sir! You're too modest and you've clearly made Peter a very happy man. Take a bow!
