206 parts on thirteen sprues:

-Excellent interior

-Great Jumo engine detail
-Separate flaps (two inboard flap hinge missing...scratchbuilding)
-SC500's and SC1000 bombs complete with ETC racks
-Clear spues with excellent clarity
-Tyres with fantastic level of detail.

Great markings for two aircraft (wih stencils):

Very nice set - thanks. I have a couple of BF 110 G-2's and the packaging, decals and molding of and detail on the parts looks the same, nice and crisp, though mine are 1/48. Who is pressing these for Revel i wonder?

Dusan,

Many thanks for the close up images. They did a FANTASTIC job on this kit especially those wheels. Are the ends of the exhausts hollow? If they are, I can't really see the need for aftermarket unless one wants different markings.

Chris,

This kit is from Revell of Germany (different from Revell/Monogram). They both use outside mold cutters and presses and have re-boxed kits form other manufacturers.

Revell/Monogram has released original kits with sprues from Korea and have re-boxed Hasegawa & Dragon sprues.

Revell of Germany has released original kits with sprues from Poland and re-boxed Italeri, Dragon, and Zvezda sprues.

Regards,

That looks like a very nice rendition of the JU . Revell has been putting out some very nice kits in the last few years.
I just read an article yesterday that stated that the owners of Revell USA had purchased Revell Germany and that it would be a united business again.
