1:24 airfix stuka after market kits?

[slupanter]

hey does anyone know of any 1:24 airfix stuka after market kits?

[slupanter]

Or has anyone built this kits? Just looking for some help as the kits is shody as hell?

I built one a long time ago. So long ago I followed the Airfix instructions and painted it in one overall green colour. I built all the Airfix 1/24 kits and I remember this being the best of the lot.

Are you looking to detail the cockpit? At this scale you could do a lot yourself. I don't think it was too bad for it's age and the engine is good too.

I did have some fit issues but I'm not sure if that was my fault or due to the age of the kit!

Hobby Decal do/did some dry transfer stencils for the kit but I don't know of any other after market goodies.

I'm pretty sure that the Airfix and Heller kits are from the same moulds.

The Airfix kits No. 18002 and 18002-7 are the same kit as MPC kit No. 1843 according to the LSP Forum database

Yeah the figures are very good and but the kit lets the side down.

I have hear the heller one is the better but how much better?

[stona]

I don't know the Heller boxing,it may have some minor differences like different decal options but is essentially the same as the Airfix kit.

As Heller is the French division of Hornby/Airfix I am very sure its exactly the same kit.
