I hope it is, I have another one of these waiting to be built as Rudolf Sinner's plane or as Red S from the JV 44. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jager Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) You will enjoy this kit build. It goes together nicely. I built mine as Eduard Schallmoser's aircraft. He was Galland's wingman.

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, coogrfan and LSP_K2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sturmovik Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 @cbk57 do you know if the nose landing gear can be added AFTER painting and decalling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sturmovik Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 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: LSP_K2, coogrfan, mustang1989 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbertD Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Looks great so far. I have this kit too but I don't think mine came with the nose weight. sturmovik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Thanks for the info. sturmovik and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 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. sturmovik, Gazzas and Out2gtcha 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradG Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Nice progress, I've built it and can tell you that the supplied weight is enough, no need for extra. coogrfan and sturmovik 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
