====================================

.

1/144 Lightning by Revell

Construction and Paint by RKM

Possibly one of the greatest interceptors of all time!?

.

Designed purely for the purpose of getting from base to bomber in the shorted time, furthest from the UK! (and then shooting them down!)

.

In Bare Metal Finish!

1) Paint = wieght, wieght = slow/heavey

2) The Russians knew there would be fighters

3) Stand-off missiles, not whites of the eye stuff?

The target:

1/144 - E100 Stug Diorama by KIWI RESIN MODELS

1/144 - E100 Stug Diorama by KIWI RESIN MODELS

=======================================

.

There an interesting kit avilable on e-bay a resin 1dioroama scene.

.

It comes complete with base and building, and more interestingly

2x E100 Stugs.

.

Based upon a storyline of being in Moscow 1946, i think the building are still essentially western/central european! so it could still fulfill a number of potential scenarios.

.

The stugs are well made and the tracks are nicely done(very professionally done), the E100 kits are as good as the better Japanes resin kits i have seen. So no problems there!

.

There are componants of this diorama that may closely match other items you have seen.

.

Hopefully the sales of this would be good and more Panzer'46 will be forthcoming?

A reworked PopyHo 229 with added details to to cockpit and new wheel bay details

A new Luft'46 version of Popy Ho 229 A-3 R11 adapted for night fighter interception. It has been updated to be armed with a "schräge musik" behind the cockpit and extra with 2x 30mm guns and radar antenas on the front (same used on He 219).

The 'schräge musik' was made from a half of a drop tank and the antennas were made from acupunture neddle and stretched sprue.
