Thamks for your comment I can hardly wait for the model Well, I got assured there is nothing wrong for the model, regarding my concern (starboard side of the glazing part of the TS looks in my view too bent inside, making the whole cockpitt a bit more pointy instead of a more bulbous one) so I will wait and see the final product. Please let me know how long we are going to wait untill a Ju 88 A5 is comming in 1/32nd from Revell Kind regards Bogdan

Yes, indeed, sorry for the confusion, Regards Bogdan

Well, I recently followed an interview with a guy from the British Museum (I think), he said the restauration would cost too much to be worth then just making an exact replica, so for the time beeing they are gathering fund for the excavation, not for restauration I myself lounge for a revell 1/32 Do 17, but don't believe it will come sooner then 4-5 years. Meanwhile, a Revell or Hassegawa 1/32 BoB Ju 87 B1/2 would make me very happy. Revell, Hasegawa Bogdan

I am trying to figure out , after seeing all the sprues , how much time should be needed to complete this magnificent bird, if we add let's say an eduard interior set. Would I be wrong supposing Pro-modeller or Monogram's announced 1/32 He 111 may contain some crew inside or outside, just like some other 1/48 similar stuff? Bogdan

I will wait paciently untill the kit of my dreams comes out from the production line and will by at least 2 I am sorry if I have made anyone feel offended by my words, I was wrong with so much impacience, I must admitt I also want to let Revell team know I much appreciate their effort for this subject and will always recommend their kits to my friends Their ju 88 and ar 196 are maybe the best kits I have ever seen , apart from Tamiya's 1.32 A6M2 Again , I am sorry for any offense I may have caused Regards Bogdan

This is what I meant, Radu! The red line representing the shape of the model's starboard side is too much bending,making the whole cockpitt glazing too pointy, instead of a more gentle aproach, compared with the plans You can see the red line is not paralell to the line of the drawings, maybe you are saying it is not a big deal, but please have a more closer look to the very photo of the model you have provided on your previous post, click the first link you have atached and observe the last testshot photo with the model seen from below. Do you notice how much that starboard line of the glazing part is bending to the interior.(vectoring to the inside)? Acording to your drawings with the real bird, it should have made a more gentle curve, providing the kit a more bulbous appearance I hope this time I made myself understood I am not going to mind anyone else here with my trouble, any longer I am sure is it a mishap, Radu's last testshot/s photo in the first link that he attached previously, is clearly showing the starboard side too much bent towards the interior, instad of a more gentle aproach Kind regards Bogdan

Mr. Mets This is the photo I was talking about, until Radu provided an even better one, with the model as seen from bellow (you can see it by clicking the first link he provided on his latest post,it is the last photo of the Revell's test shots) compared to the photo of the real plane carrying the torpedoes, please read my comments regarding his post REGARDING YOUR PHOTO, You said the starboard side does show a very gentle curve, but if you compare it to the starboard side of the real plane that Radu provided, (the he 111 with training torpedos ) you can notice this "very gentle curve" of the model in your photo , is in fact much steeper then the real plane, making the whole cockpitt glazing of the model too pointy, instead of a more bulbous appearance of the glass cockpit which is visible on Radu's photo with the real plane. Again, I kindly advise you to compare Radu;s photo of the real plane with the model in last photo of his first link where the difference real plane's-test shot's starboard is even more obvious then with your test shot photo Thank you for your concern, and trust me I have reasons to feel anxious about the model's cockpit Bogdan

Yes!, Radu finally said it right, "the starboard side has a very gentle curve"... This is what I meant to say, dear friends, please compare the last photos Radu has provided with the model and the real aircraft as seen from below, you cannot miss the difference between the model's glass starboard side which is too much bending to the interior at a steep angle, instead of a more "gentle curve"(Radu's words)of the same starboard side as seen on the real aircraft. Kind regards, I hope my english was good enough this time Bogdan

Yes, this is it, if you take a closer look at the last picture, you may see the glass part too pointy (narrower then on drawings) because the whole right side cockpitt panel running towards the front is too much bending to left, instead of a more slightly bend, which would provide more room for the bombardier. I will scan one drawing and post it. Thank you for your support Regards Bogdan

Yes, please go to what Wurzacher posted on 12.04, H. 3.21, Please open the link he kindly provided me there, with the model test shots, and check the last picture of the plane as seen from above Please fucus on the glazing part of the model, you will notice it is pointy instead of beeing a bit more bulbous, because the glazing part of the right side is too steeply running to the left , to meet the left side at the nose of the plane, instead of slightly curving to left, which would provide a more realistical bulbous appearance This problem can be seen not only on the photo mentioned above, it is only the one where the problem is more obvious. Bogdan

I already have, but he passed the sprue shots he received from Revell to a friend, and could not have a look at them, to check my problem He nevertheless got me assured Revell did make much measuring of the Real bird, but he could not stay all the time with the team. I still hope this is just a testshot, and that revell already envisaged my trouble. Bogdan

Dear Radu Thanks for your trying to understand, but my english is not so good, and people might say, I am harsh. I will contact you at your private email, and will let you know about the problem in our native language,romanian. I am sure you will finally understand my concern, Kind regards Bogdan

Thanks for your thoughts You are right with my trouble in dealing with my computer, and the english language I will anyway email to Revell, and hope they will be kind enough to listen to me, in order to understand my problem, I wish they would say : "Ok we already know this, but this is just a test shot" .... Regards Bogdan

Hello Radu You may perhaps lough if I tell you I cannot present drawings here to show what I mean,I am not so good with my computer but you see I tried to do my best to explain. I hope you did not feel offended by my posts, and that you do not believe I am just a guy looking for trouble I think everybody got my point when I said the test shots look like the model's glazing cockpitt too pointy, intead of the more bulbous appearance as seen on all the He 111 drawings, especially when showing the he 111 from above Regards Bogdan

Hello Mike I have done my best to explain myself what the innacuracies consisted of, acording my beliefs I will contact Revell through their web site right away. I will let you know what Revell will have answered. I hope they will, after all the stuff I have bought from them. REGARDS Bogdan
