I was delighted to read Iain's recent review of ICM's newly released Bucker Jungmann. I love trainer aircraft but since they are not regarded as very "sexy" and have limited appeal we get very few of them, so well done ICM, more power to your elbow!! Box art: but you'll have to check out Iain's review for sprue shots etc.. Just down the road from me is Henstridge airfield where I did my Tiger Moth training. Annabelle Burroughes, one of the instructors, has a Jungmann which suffered an ignominious event in 2013: A cross wind caught her as she came in to land, and oops, inelegantly onto her nose. I haven't seen Annabelle for a year or two but I believe the Jungmann is back in one piece: Enough preamble; the kit is quite delightful and very well engineered. The sequence of assembly is a little odd in places, like fitting the rear cockpit rudder pedals so early on when they are very vulnerable, but the fit is very precise so far: No seat belts are included so I've made some very simple ones from left over scraps of some RB Prods ones, I imagine the German ones are similar to the Sutton ones fitted to the contemporary Tiger Moth. More soon. Max
