Vynce804 1,139 Posted April 10 (edited) Ok I couldn't resist any longer..Im in! Ive wanted to build this kit for a while and there are a bunch of great markings so this group build is the perfect excuse. First impressions are its no Tamiya Mosquito, but then again it is 1/3 the price. You do get lots for your money, the cockpit is lovely and i think it will build up into a very impressive model. i have made a start and built the cockpit which is now ready for paint. i have also decided to modify the kit a little, the kit has no engines but i have decided to graft a resin one onto one wing. its not exactly the right engine but looks sufficiently like a jumo 211 to be good enough when I've finished...I hope!

LSP_Ray 6,338 Posted April 11 Resistance is futile! Looks like a good start! I have several of these with AIMs conversions - just need time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dennismcc 3,709 Posted April 14 Looks great, as with a lot of people I have one of those in the stash so it is great to see what it takes to build it. Cheers Dennis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The cockpit is so nice, when I made a Aimes conversion 188 model I had the whole front end left over. I made it as a display piece, like a bit of salvage in a museum from the wreck of a downed Ju 88 This build is looking amazing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
