Sorry Steffen, your post had fallen off from the mainpage and I always automaticly check the news section and thats why I posted to its related topic.

Please keep the news coming, we all appreciate it and eagerly wait for next announces even thought we sometimes forget to mention it or don't always post to topics.

Thanks.

Oh my... Looks like another of those can't-be-resisted-impulse-buyings.
From what I can tell from those photos of the actual plastic, it sure looks good.

Am I misinformed, or is this what I think it is, the first 1:48 Dora kit with the correct open landing gear bay mid-section?

Funny coincidence with the marking options. I've built a total of two Doras so far, and both of them are featured in the kit. Well, that's actually more like three of the kit's options, as there's two slight variations of Dortenmann's W.Nr. 210003.

Hi Guys

just forgot to add the emoticons (which would be these ) .. this time I jumped J-L ...

I am a bit disappointed because I already built Dortenmann and there is no other KC holder included ... also I find the rudder fin fat .. but that might be an optical trick

cheers

Hi Steffen

Sorry - no wonder I thought I was going mad! I thought I saw a Dora 9 post with your name on it, didn't reply straight away, then navigated away, then came back and thought "That's odd - it's by Jean-Luc!"

All the best

It won't be the last time I guess...

I was just in the middle of editing the news item when I saw your post. Oh well, "doppelt genäht hält besser'"

Hi Steffen

I agree about the fin - it reminds me of the old Airfix 1:24 kit. Hopefully it's just an optical illusion, as you say.

All the best
