Very nice Alan I have been eying a few half-tracks up lately decided on a Demag to go with the 88.

Which one tell ? I like the demag and I'm looking for a 1/35 , I've built the airfix 1/32 and it's a good kit but there's not to much figure wise in 1/32

Al it is the D7 as from my research I believe it was one of the most widely used to tow things like the 88. Not only that I can't run to a the price of a Famo which I would really like.

Handy for my "Good Morning Da Nang" sometime in the future. Mind you, next time I shouldn't be so hasty, I ordered this when I saw it advertised at full price and 2 days ago I got an email with a discount code for £1 off - OK we're talking £5.99 instead of £4.99 but that could have been £1 more towards my airbrush fund! Oh well, anyway, will have a good read of this over the weekend.

That Airfix Gnat box art is very dramatic, I like it a lot.

I like that bright red F-4 on the cover; is it a drone?

It's a really good looking kit too, Joe. Nice panel line detail and the canopy (two versions, open/closed) is very clear and thin.

If is, not only that, there are full conversion details to make it from the Hasegawa 1/48 kit.

Yep, really looking forward to building the Uhu. Really interesting Aircraft, as it featured the first ejection seat and was arguably the best Nightfighter of the war

The nose weight included really fascinates me. When you built it, how did it fit?
