Hey Penny,

Just saw your Ta-183 in the photo section of MSN Groups - http://groups.msn.com/armorama/ladymodelbuildersgallery.msnw?albumlist=2" TARGET="_blank"> Armorama gallery. Looks great!!

Is this it the AM Tech 1/48 kit? How was the detail and fit?

Have a good road trip.

Thanks puyallup,
Yep it's the AMtech kit. The detail and the fit was GREAT!!!! There is not much to this kit at all, in fact, it only took me a week to build and paint it. The only thing I had problems with were the decals. After I put them on, the ink in the left decal on the nose ran when I sprayed on the dull coat. All the other decals were fine. There are a few pin marks on the kit, but not alot. I had fun building this little plane..... :-)


Ohh, be sure to load the nose with buckshot real well, she's back-end heavy...

Hi tazz,
Welcome to the best modeling web site on the www !!!!! I had the great opportunity of walking through the He-111 that the Confederte Air Force has, and got some really great pictures of the cockpit and stuff... I want to build one, but can't find a kit.... Would you happen to have the manufactures name and kit number? Thanks in advance...

Revell has a 1/48th He111. In fact, I think it's an older monogram mold.
Still, it's supposed to be very nice !
