Nightfighter

I've got the first release TU22M which has some really nicely moulded plastic parts but I find the photoetch on this kit quite unecessary. Here's a well known online kit reviewer agreeing with me mainly at the end of the video in case you don't want to watch it all........

It's a shame Trumpeter made some mistakes with this including the inaccuracies (especially the wings) but great review of a fantastic looking brute of a plane. I've got this myself and must get round to building it.

Great looking bomber and along with a 1/48 Halifax Mk1...... I want to build one.

They've done a B36 in the same scale so hopefully they can use some parts (stupidly there's absolutely no cockpit though) but I hope to do the prototype version without the ugly radar nose.

I haven't seen anything on here about this giant prototype aircraft so I thought I'd start a thread. I know Roden's kits can be a real challenge (especially their WW1 fighters in 1/32 and their 1/144 Globemaster II C124 for instance) but I'm glad someone is tackling this fantastic plane.

Thanks all and I had a feeling it wasn't a real WW1 scheme. I've also got the overall Jacobs black Dr1 so I won't be doing that version but I might well consider the Von Raben version. Mind you the bird won't be easy to paint and I don't think I have an spare decals for the registration.

I've got a 1/72 Revell Dr.1 but instead of painting it overall red (as I have other overall red models) I was thinking of painting it this scheme...... ://warhawkairmuseum.org/explore/aviation-collection/the-blue-max/ unfortunately I can't find any other info about it and the photo's aren't the clearest. Is it a real WW1 scheme etc or a made up warbird scheme? If anyone knows I'd be most grateful.

Great. Hopefully I can buy mine from Hannants in time for Christmas.

Some nice detail there but when is this coming out Litaki?

That's good the wings will be movable.

I was thinking about buying the Armory one but I'll hold on to see if this is really a new tool and what it's like. Wolfpack as far as I can see though mainly rebox other manufacturers kits.

But that is resin isn't it? 3D parts aren't injection plastic.

Looks really nice.....but not being a fan of resin I wish the engine parts were in injection plastic as well as 3D printed. Surely the best option is to provide both?

I built this years ago in the original silver. It's quite a nice simple kit to build but there's no cockpit detail (you can't see it though) and the prop blades are a bit fragile. Still quite big despite the smaller scale.

Thanks Alternative but unfortunately like the photo's Andy posted I can't access those either. Could you post them on the page like Andy did if possible?
