Jager 40 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) You will enjoy this kit build. It goes together nicely. I built mine as Eduard Schallmoser's aircraft. He was Galland's wingman. Jager Edited January 8 by Jager sturmovik 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Has a nose weight that integrates into the gun bay so it sits perfectly. Clicks together and the detail is out of this world. sturmovik, LSP_K2 and coogrfan 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
sturmovik 134 Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 @cbk57 do you know if the nose landing gear can be added AFTER painting and decalling? Link to post Share on other sites

I had to find some instructions, I built mine years ago. I suspect that I painted the front gear assembly then wrapped it in tape. However, I think you could test fit the assembly and try because it might be possible to sneak the nose gear in after assembly. sturmovik 1 Link to post Share on other sites
mustang1989 1,569 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 This is a nice kit. I've got it in the stash and will be looking forward to your build very very much. Link to post Share on other sites
sturmovik 134 Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 Hello guys, I come back to this thread with lots of progress to show you: The gunbay: The gunbay glued to the nose weight, alongside the nose geat attachment piece at the front of the weight: Wings glued together: I added an extra weight (not shown) at the front of the cockpit, because I'm not sure if the supplied weight will be enough: Fuselage halves glued together: Airframe completed: mustang1989, Out2gtcha, KUROK and 5 others 8 Link to post Share on other sites
AlbertD 676 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Looks great so far. I have this kit too but I don't think mine came with the nose weight. sturmovik 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Try contacting Tamiya for a spare weight if it didn't come with it. The two I bought had the weights glued inside one side of the box. AlbertD and LSP_K2 2 Link to post Share on other sites

The two I bought had the weights glued inside one side of the box. I just looked again and sure enough there it is attached inside the end of the box. I guess I just never noticed it before.

LSP_K2 23,116 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I've pretty much convinced myself that next year will be entirely devoted to WWII 1:48 ceiling queens, and this kit may well be amongst them. I have several that are well underway already, so finishing off a dozen or so should be pretty easy, I'd think. I'll certainly be watching yours.

BradG 4,345 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Nice progress, I've built it and can tell you that the supplied weight is enough, no need for extra. sturmovik and coogrfan 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
