Lancfan's PM Focke Wulf TA-154 build ***Finished***

Select the most rubbish kit in your stash, one that probably has no other chance of seeing a workbench, and build it however you wish - and have fun doing it along with others likewise occupied.

Yes Daren I will want to get an improved result from this, PM kits were often criticised but all but the very earliest would scrub up very well and it is a crying shame the moulds were apparently destroyed.

Hi David. Looking forward to seeing you build this one. I did one s while back. A real filler monster. Much nose weight needed too.

All the best.

I have the Airfix Mistel combo. I set it aside for the time being, not started.

With time and effort, this one will scrub up quite well

...any news to share (oh, my curiosity) ?

Construction began by joining the wing halves together, this was followed by pre-painting the undercarriage and assembling the engine nacelles, the nacelle fronts/annular radiators were cleaned up and a short stack of nuts screwed onto a bolt was cyanoe'd to each.
