Lindberg Henschel HS-129B

This is an oldie. The box has a copyright of 1966 and it looks like it was a 60 cent kit. The shape looks right, but the upper fuselage spine edges are more rounded than the Airfix offering. You had to love the colorful box art, which was painted by T.A.M. I'm not sure who that was, but it made me want to buy it!
The one thing with this ultra basic kit is that it had half wheels if you wanted it "gear up"...some pics.

That looks like a great candidate for a little scratchbuilding project.

My scratch building efforts have been confined to a still in work Frog Blackburn Shark (F179)....some fuselage stringers, seats, throttle levers, nothing too intense. Maybe I should haul it out for the "I'll Ruddy Well Finish It" thread. Hmmmm.

Well that's probably what's needed with this kit too - might even be less visible than in the open cockpit of the Shark.

Edit: there's a very cheap ($3 or less) Eduard photoetch set for the Italeri kit, which has bits for the cockpit interior.

Oh I remember them well. The He100, Me163, Hs129, AR234, Fw190D, He162. Great box art and something out of the ordinary. And they are all very buildable.

Got one in the loft and when (if) I get round to it,it's half as good as there Do-335 I will be well pleased

Well, their FW-190D was pretty bad, but like you said, the rest were good. I seem to recall they also had a Do-335...
