+Russell Gosselin Thanks for the very kind words Russell I am very much humbled good Sir ! its a pretty involved build to be sure, but if I take my time it should be a lot of fun !
I've built this kit shane you wont be disappointed the detail is awesome the only extra detail set i know of is for the engines and they cost more than the kit lol have fun with this the under carriage is some what tricky have patience ;)great review bud and it does turn into a huge plane :)
+Faron Adams thanks for the headsup Faron ! its an lovely kit, I was blown away by the massive amount of detail in this kit really looking forward to starting it in the near future :) !
Yeah this is a nice kit I have the A-1 version you mention at the start. Do you remember when Alex built the He-111? He used that whole Eduard exterior detail set. The only thing I would say about this one Shane is...take your time. BTW the MG17 fired the same 7.92 X 57 cartridge that the MG34 and 42 fired.
Shame :( I had that problem with the 1/24 Airfix Hurricane. I solved it by placing the fuselage in a hot bath and then shaping with my hands! I have seen it done with a hair dryer! BTW when is the next instalment on the Horsa?
I wish I would have noticed the warping when I started as it wasn't till I tried to put the interior of the kit in place, so I am not sure if I will get my mojo back for this project but never know though ! As for the horsa it is one of the worse models I've build in the few years and I am still trying to get that bastard of a kit to fit but one day part three will make its appearance
+Felis Barcinonensis thanks Felis, though all things considered and the prices that Tamiya and Trumpeter charge for their kits, Revell are the better deal though are not the cheapest of kits hich I agree but I feel their good value for the amount of plastic you get in the box :)
This is one bird that seems to be popular at the moment with modelers, and one that I want to build myself; I've been really busy just lately building four 1/32 scale aircraft back to back with a fifth one, the Fw190F-8 sitting in line for my next project! Thanks for the in-depth review...113 steps....sweet!...And, lot's of great details to have a go at! Wooaahh, 80.00 quid is expensive, they're so cheap here in the USA that it might be better for you to order stuff from here? This is $50.95 (about 34.00 quid) at the supplier that I use; Hobbylinc.com Have fun building her! Cheers : )
+International British Modeler thanks for the link Martin ! kits here are very expensive take a new dragon kit will cost you around 95-97 euro in some places so the Ju88 all things considered was a good or least better deal lol But will check out that site as those prices are too good to pass up ! thanks my friend !
She's a beasty for sure. That's going to looking amazing. Looking forward to the build...
+Armour Empire thanks Mark ! its gonna be an epic build for sure ! definitely the largest model yet built on the channel !
Good lord, man! 113 steps!!! You are brave. But I have great faith that you will do a great job! Model on, Shane!
+Russell Gosselin Thanks for the very kind words Russell I am very much humbled good Sir ! its a pretty involved build to be sure, but if I take my time it should be a lot of fun !
Oh Boy!!! Where are you going to display this BEAST ??? That's quite the model indeed ! So much Glass !!!
+Norm Lajoie hahaha I haven't clue yet lol

Nice kit Shane I am presently building the Ju8 A-1 and its a beast of a bird for sure.
+paips4 thanks Paips I've been watching your build its one hell of a model !

+TacticalJackalope thanks for the info Andy. I remember your review out in the yard for it twas awesome review !
big kit ,,thanks shane for you review i like to get one of them into my stock
its a very nice kit! my example has a slight warped hull but nothing a few clamps can't fix!
Did you ever build this Shane, or is it still sitting in your stash?
David Morris I started it but the fuselage is warped so it kinda threw me off it some what

Great review! That's a birdy beast I'd love to build, a bit expensive though...

+Damian Mullan its a deadly kit would strongly recommend picking on up if possible :)
Wonder how many litres of paint you`ll be needing to paint that kit.

129 steps!!! That plane kit is ter big1
+Ian E (That 1 35th Scale Show) And each step is packed with mega amounts of parts too ! :s but I think I may have a diorama in mind with this kit ;)
