You missed the opportunity.

Very interesting Rich. Never realized that there was a time limit on the eject seat usefulness.

Yes, it was from the factory. I have been using the Norwegian restoration (which is what Revell used for their research) to detail this model. I am sure that there are many items that the Ju188 shared with the earlier aircraft, but you should do research for you specific model in the case of...

I believe it is the Fine Molds kit Ian. It has the 5 landing gear. The Bandai kit has a different assembly style. Plus the Bandai kit only has the 3 landing gear legs that the Falcon from the first movie had. I have held off on obtaining the Bandai kit as they did it in such a way that they...

I get it big, does NOT mean it is better. This kit was designed so that the wings could be disconnected and removed. I get it, but if you are going to do that, you better get ready to do a lot of work to make just a fine join line where they go together.

No it was all grey plastic. Eduard had a photo etch panel with some coarse wood grain, but it was pretty bad. The Quinta Studios instrument and seat belt set had a nice looking wood grain panel that could go on it, but it didn't do the whole part.

Good to know Tim. Would you mind posting the links to the companies with the aftermarket items? The part circled in red is missing on mine, and I will have to scratchbuild it (might be the other side but you get the idea). The part was broken off and not in the box. The box was NOT in the...

Congratulations on the wins Chris! Very well deserved!

As I have the big 1/32 A20 now this is going to be needed info. For some reason I never thought that there were that many different sized oxygen cylinders.

I had to replace my water heater last year. It had water shutoffs so I did that and shut the gas off as well. Went and bought a new water heater. Then paid a contractor to come and replace it. I also drained the tank before they arrived so all they had to do was shut off the water to the...

Glad you found us again Dan. I guess I am new here from back when you were on even though I have been here for quite a long while. As to other sites going all poly-ticked-u-al. I get it, some folks are easy going and others are completely off the rail. We don't allow that here which makes it...

Anal retentive? OK temp hijack. I had to do a watch repair this week. A Chronograph (watch with a stop watch well known brand) It started several weeks ago this part a bridge for the mainspring barrel was being placed in the watch and assembled, a threaded post just fell off. This happens...

With that info, and scaling from the F-1 photos I am coming up with 18 inches tip of fitting to tip of fitting and 10 inches width.

I will be watching this with interest Tim. I have one of these kits. It has some warpage issues, but nothing I have not dealt with before. The Vac formed sails hit the trash can as they were toast and I won't build another tall ship with the sails on it anyway.

Looking good Robert!
