Sad aircraft that one. Hopgood’s mount. Damaged on the way to the dams, only two crew survivors when it was hit again and shot down over the Mohne dam. Interesting kit, though a bit big for me…..

Those resin wire wheels look great - I wonder lf they'll deteriorate over time?

Great...I can model the Malaysian Tebuan(Hornet) from this kit as I have decals for it.

Cheers,

IMHO, most of the 1:35 scale kits are a complete waste of time to re-release … There are far better kits of the M4A3E2 and the halftracks (well, except the M21, but those were hardly used in the real world anyway) and of the Marder II. Only the Marder 1A2 has no real alternatives.
