Back onto relatively safe ground this is the Micro Mir kit of the Blohm und Voss P.193. I find it amazing that kits are still being produced in the Ukraine. The box contains an eight page instruction booklet, three sprues of blue/grey plastic, one clear, an etch fret, decals for one option and a set of canopy masks. All being well these will also fit the Revell P.194 in my stash as the P series of aircraft had a generic cockpit section, differing only in the proposed instrumentation fit.
A 'what if' Chris?
Ooooo, that looks interesting.
Watching with interest.
Yes it's another Luft46 aircraft for the collection.
They put the tail on upside down... no wonder they lost.
Interesting. 8)
The work on the Anson stood me in good stead when it came to applying the etch in the cockpit. Strangely there is etch for the starboard side console, see photo, but no part to fit it to and none shown in the instructions. RLM 66 was applied overall with the consoles painted black and dry brushed with Vallejo Steel. I has to re-adjust one of the nosebay wheel well sides to bring it inline with the floor but when a test closure of the fuselage was done there's still a gap which will need filling. Weight has been added to the nose using the self adhesive weights I bought at Sword and Lance, a bargain at £1 a strip, plus old tack. One of the wing uppers didn't match up with the lower part so had to be sanded down. The instructions don't point out that you need to open up holes for the wing cannons and the radiator housings. All were duely done and I went against the instructions and fitted the radiator fronts to the wings before putting the covers over the top.
Quite a bit of weight behind the cockpit......
