Remember it as well. Never made one, but I also didn’t realise it was a rosebud kitmaster…..looking it up here…

looks like it was the last Rosebud kit and the first Airfix one that reissued…..Dapol are still making some of the loco kits….a shame that some of the more interesting ones went by the board though.

Now Tim, might be worth the wait!! Only one Ausf G but lots and lots of changes, ie july 15th 44, Carl at Alkett fitted the flux capacitor on the wrong thingy

Now that one sadly only fired birthday cake at mein Fuhrer, with the barrel doing the nazi salute

 

[Tim Marlow]

Yes, but it had lots of candles on the roof….,and the special “moustache “ camouflage

On the IBG Facebook page, boxart for two of their upcoming 1/72 Fw 190D's

Nice artwork! ( How do you paint the bottom one? )

From MiniArt - "new" kit coming soon

I'm beginning to think they're taking the mickey...............

They really would be better off just releasing decal sets plus one box of street signs, wouldn’t they?

 

[Tim Marlow]

I do wonder if any of those sign sets actually have scale sized and shaped signs? They probably just resize the decals to fit.

 

[Guest]

I have been thinking that too, because sign sizes do vary depending on time and place.

Anyway you like. This aircraft was never produced lol. Only one prototype D-15 (Fw190 V77 W/Nr. 210043 TS+DQ) was made and nothing is known about it's fate.

Not exactly the Internet - but can anyone remember making one of these?
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124997060069
I can remember making this as an Airfix model - never knew that it was 1/16 scale & was a repop of a 1962 Kitmaster model.

In a Kitmaster box that’s probably quite a rare bird Dave….one of the last they made before take over….an Airfix repop would possibly be cheaper!

£33 now- I'm just keeping an eye on it, to see how much someone will pay for an ancient model of an obscure motorbike - truly, only a collector could be wanting this!! I hope it goes much higher - so that person can't afford to bid on something I want to build!!!!!!! :smiling5:
