Album info
This is a typical Lindberg kit from the 60's. A small amount of parts, no recessed gear bays, no engine detail and missing some key items like the gun sight and antenna. Those two items were scratch built for the model. The gun pod is simplified but looks the part. The decals provided were not for a desert aircraft (research showed they were for an early Hs-129 in Russia) and all were replaced with generic sheet decals (and white Mediterranean theater markings) to build an airplane in Libya in 1942.
