I've got the Xtrakit boxings of the MPM T.7 and F.8, both nice kits.  I might just get the Revell F.4 at that price to add to the collection.

I've been looking at the box art for the new tool 1/32 Fw 190 F-8 and a couple of things puzzle me ? (and no I'm not buying it)

Two Fw's are pulling away from a ground "target" which has a couple of fires blazing. Now said "target" is being approached by a Soviet AF P.39, whilst it is also firing off rockets of some kind or another.

Now given the Fw's are still fully loaded what the heck is going on ? Is it a German Nebelwherfers firing and  being overflown by the Fw's whilst under attack by the P.39, or is it Katushas firing and being attacked by an unseen Fw which is being attacked by the P.39.

Not important at all but it's got to me a bit. I like my box art to make some sense ?

[Captain Canada]

lol now I have to go and google that pic !

I've always wanted that Terra Cruiser just for it's 'cool' value. I think it could be made into a really awesome diorama of some sort, maybe a giant maintenance train or somat.

Still no sign of the C-54 i noticed

Okay, having had a look at it,

1. The 190s arn't particularly pulling off that target, rather they're in a gentle turn with it behind them. There's no suggestion that they attacked it: maybe they're looking for a new target since it's already been attacked?

2. The rocket fire is coming from a different place from the blaze. The blaze and the rocket battery have different smoke clouds, but the angle puts the latter's slightly behind the former's.

3. The P-39 may be near the rockets, but it isn't firing on them.

My reading is that part of the rocket battery was attacked by other aircraft but part of it's still firing, the two Fw-190s want to attack it but they're being held off it by the P-39.

Well your reading makes sense mate  As I said it was just one that got me thinking
