I built the Planet Jungmeister several years ago, so I don't remember too many details.

The engine needed spacing out further forward, otherwise a typical resin kit.  The landing gear are a little flimsy.  I scratchbuilt replacement wheels and fenders.  There were pin holes in the resin also.

Boy, that looks pretty.  Is that the plane aerobatic show pilot Bevo Howard used to fly?

Hopefully, an injected kit will follow.  I have the Planet Models resin Jungmeister in 1/32 already.  Would like to do another one.

Nice!  Can a Jungmeister be far behind?

Working on a 1/32 Bucker Bu131 Jungmann trainer.  I will model a Dutch plane that was captured by the Germans when The Netherlands were invaded.

The ICM kit is very well molded, being released this year.  The plastic is very soft and the fuse tubing parts are very fragile.

I have added some additional detail for a little more zing.

Comments welcome!
