I've got the Huma A and the AV Resins B so I'll probably get these too.

Haven't seen this beauty before...? Found on ebay:



Skip the "normal" cockpit, and you get a nice carrier aircraft, kind of Airbonita V 2.0?

Very much so. It's almost got a Fisher P.75 "feel" about it to me ?

More Luft 46 news from RS Models, just found this at HLJ (scheduled for Jan. 2014); the X-4 missiles look promising?

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

Now why doesn't it surprise me that it's a Bv aircraft?  ;D

Thanks for the info.

The Wooksta!

The resin one has been available since 1996!  I've done it twice.

I wonder if they've got the off-axis engine mount right in these kits?

They were tempting me during the week.  But i've decided to build my RS Dewoitine 520 first to see how it goes together before splashing out for a Blotch.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

I've built a few RS kits, both resin and IM. The recent IM ones go together well. require more cleaning up then a mainstream kit but fit and ease of build are fine. The Airabonita was a nice build
