One of my favourites. Is this this the trumpeter or the old Monogram/Revell ?
I have these last 2 in my stach. Lots of work on them,but still beautiful
Love it Wilfried

@Urban aaah you understand my tactics! This kind of nose art draws the attention of the people so they won't notice the shortcommings of the model 🙂
@Holger yep it's the Italeri kit, and you can hang it on the ceiling with the paratroopers jumping, next to Urbans Peacemaker... 🙂

Aha didn t notice the 1/72 scale

Wilfried Bogaerts
Thx Tony! It's the 72nd scale Italeri. It needs some work and effort, mine is OOB except for the Moskit exhausts and the decals. And I added some seatbelts in the cockpit

Hey zimmi, silly question but what Kind of Club should that become?😢

5 January 2012, 18:15

Wilfried Bogaerts
Zimmi, if you mean a modellers club 🙂 then just visit MC Lier on a Friday evening and see for yourself, I think you won't be disappointed...
And I think it's not too far from where you live?

Zimmermaniac
Nope, not far at all, but my friend seems to be kinda attracked to KMK, no problem I'll talk him over, but anyway it'll take a while cause within 2 weeks I'll have this hipsurgery wich will take me out for a couple o' weeks

5 January 2012, 20:24

Wilfried Bogaerts
Oh, plenty of time to think it over. BTW KMK is a great club as well and we all meet at various contests and festivals anyway. Good luck with the surgery. Take care

Zimmi, i am a member of Kmk, a very good club. But i also want to join Lier, Kmk is more Armour, and in Lier you find more planebuilders and armour. Hope this correct Jan and Wilfried ?

Album info

Despite many good reviews, this kit allmost made me look for another hobby. Wings to fuselage fit was terrible and the engraving was undeep, wide and soft edged, which made the application of a panel line wash a real annoying job. But the nose art has eased the pain... 🙂
