Hi All,

I am hoping someone maybe able to help, I am normally a ground pounder, but want to do Hans-Ulrich Rudels G1 3.7mm tank buster he flew at Kursk.

I have the Hasegawa 1/32 scale kit & voyager update set, the kit markings are for a later version, also I have Verlindens 1/32 scale pilots, but they have life presevers on & I am thinking that is / would be incorrect??

Thanks in advance
Mike

Worthy subject.

Apparently he also flew a FW 190 F

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the reply, the one picture matches the kit markings of a 44 G2 I think??

But he was certainly badass that's for sure!!

Cheers
