                        Break out the Lindberg Stuka. Thick canopy, no cockpit and inaccurate or missing panels. But it swivels on the clear plastic stand supplied with the kit.

                         I may get so drunk, I have to crawl home. But dammit, I'll crawl like a Marine.

                        Only problem I had with mine was I kept breaking the stabilizer support struts. Very delicate. Otherwise I think it's an incredibley fine model.

                        Well you may wait a LOOONG time for Tamiya to kit every aircraft so you go with the best available if it's an AC you want in your collection. I have built a couple of the Hasegawa Stukas but quite a while ago. Don't recall any problem with a bulkhead but did have a small issue with the wing tips. Overall I thought this was a pretty good kit, certainly the best 1/48 scale Stuka kit available today. Normally if the bulkhead has detail on one side only, that side would face where it's most visible on the finished model, or other parts may attach to the blank side. My memory fails to recall this as a problem.

                        Don't feel like the "Lone Ranger"! You wait with eagar anticipation for a new kit and then you find something not right that really bugs you! It's still the best to come along in ages, but the one "error " or omission "gets your goat"! Been there! Done that!

                        workin on this hasegawa. I am tellin you, I wish Tamiya would just take the market on all of these subjects. Nice sturdy plastic, good fit, nice instructions. With this hasegawa kit you get flimsy plastic, flimsy canopies, and no good diagrams. I am working on the interior and there is a bulkhead that can literally go one of two ways. There is no way to decipher which is the correct way. I am going nuts. One side has moldings on it, the other is smooth. What gives? Give me Tamiya any day of the week. Yes, I have done searches and looked at a number of peoples reviews. Just no detail on this bulkhead. I am looking for a photo. I need to go to my hobby shop and find one of the Squadron publications and hopefully get a good interior shot. I am going to change my screen name to whiner since that is all I seem to do these days.
