I'm starting the Hasegawa 1/32 scale Bf109F as flown by H-J Marseille. I've come across an interesting instruction for the fitting of the tail wheel. Here it is.

"Please make it for length to the rotation after it puts it in transverse"

I think it means push in and rotate! I'm posing mine in flight and as the F had a retractable tail wheel I won't be following that particular instruction. It did bring a smile to my face though.

Cheers

Some classic Engrish in the instructions on my Fujimi Williams FW16 actually, even if it does make for an easy target, I can't speak or read a word of Japanese after all!

Despite that, presume people have seen this old classic: Engrish.com ?

Me neither! I'm not trying to take the p**s out of the Japanese,far from it,it just made me smile when I read it.

Gawd no, agreed, wasn't suggesting you were. It's all very affectionate and endearing, not taking any measure of urine at all
