Fantastic collection Tophe  :bow:

Thanks a lot! I am glad I am not the only one enjoying these ones ;D

I have found today a great new kit of Unicraft models: the twin-fuselage Junkers EF.109 (not Bf-109Z, no):

I played with the drawing, asking permission to Igor to post it here.
He answered yes, with the courage of a hero...:
"Hello Tophe,
Can't write much, we're under russians attack,
Yes I agree you can post the drawing.
Best regards,
Igor.
" :unsure:

That brings the situation home somewhat, doesn't it? :(
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

It does indeed  :-\

Must admit I've a soft spot for Unicraft, but I really do have to be in the right mood

My brother, preparing for Christmas orders, asked me if I would like a Unicraft model like every year if Ukraine can manage such order despite the war.
I asked Igor and he confirmed my model will be sent early in November.
So:
1/ Buying Unicraft kits in Ukraine is still possible now. <_<
2/ I will get this weird Junkers EF.109 plane to transform <_<

Looks like an Fw-109D9Z!  :thumbsup:

Very impressive.

The Wooksta!

The bits in the photo are the masters. Do not be fooled. I saw the ones for the Hawker P.1061 and was, only to get the usual standard Unicraft crunchier bars.

A mate has one and says that the circular parts are not circular, rather some indeterminate shape and he's had to rebuild it.

I have received the parcel November 30th, well in advance for Christmas. It is waiting under the pine tree, soon to be opened now... <_<

Not bad travel time from the Ukraine.  I've had similar results from other suppliers there.  I will have to place an order with Igor for his two J4M kits since he has versions the other available kits don't cover.

I think we've both thrown away better castings.  Looks like a bad sponge cake.

I started cleaning up the Supermarine Type 325 but threw it back in the box in disgust, knowing I can scratch better.

Good grief. Those biscuits are so mis-shaped you couldn't sell them on the market.

Wouldn't it be easier to modify a Whirlybird or AMP kit?
