Okay, Okay !
So it's a "TreibFlugel." This is one weird plane. BUT, one beautiful kit for the serious builder of "What-If's". Now I do apologize beforehand. I was NOT able to upload my pictures. Don't know why. Camera would Not release the Card.
Now there is this too. It's 1/35 scale. That makes it about a foot tall when assembled! The kit, although out of the Ukraine is going together like a group of LEGO parts. It tells you in drawings where stuff goes then you just get the glue and paint where it belongs.
I did run into some weird situations with some parts. Like where in the heck do they go? They give you three teensy parts for the gunsight, be careful with these.They's tiny and easy to put together backwards! Also on the clear sprue is a part labeled 1. But I can't for the life of me find where it goes. It's a beautifully clear little dome!
When installing the Cockpit be Careful! There is a little key up on the seat bulkhesd, One each side. It goes into a grooved area in the parts for the upper gun bays. The gun bay bulkheads create this along with a molded groove for another part.
Now my thoughts on the P.E is that the instructions are fairly clear, BUT, be Careful with those too. The parts are very tiny and easy to lose to the universal Carpet monster. I didn't, so I am ahead of the game! Also when looking at the cockpit when the plane is finished is important here. Why? Well, remember the thing sits on it's tail. So gravity would cause the lap portion of the belts to fall onto the seatback!
Lastly a comment on the Decals( Which are usually the Bane of my modeling). The biggest instrument is a whole 1/8 inch across. The rest are smaller and YES they are all individual on the Decal sheet. But laid out so you don't need an intrepeter to figure out where they go.
Somehow, Someway My foray into paper has steadied my hands enough that even the smallest part on the model has not been a problem. If you Like " What-Ifs" then even with the leetle bit higher pricepoint it's a winner!
As I build I will post again, on less general but more critical reactions to parts fit and finish. Right now everything is great.
