Something a bit different for me - an all-resin kit and a Luft ''46 subject... I have to say, judging by this kit, I''m in danger of becoming a convert on both counts!

That's not a Flitzer it's a DH Vampire....Jim

More like a Venom really (swept-back wings), but just wait 'till I sit it and Classic Airframes' Vampire side by side...
It does look cool though, doesn't it! I love this kit - a real unexpected gem!
All the best

Hi again Jim
Well - to be fair, the designs for the Flitzer and the Spidercrab (the original name for the Vampire) developed virtually simultaneously and totally independently. They'd make a great Airfix-style "Dogfight Double" - Ahhh... those were the days! (He says, instantly sounding older than the Ark)
