Also all flaps and rudders work and the landing gear also.

The
Me/Bf 109 G2 Trop is painted in the colors fo the JG 53, as it flew in
Northern Africa. The G2 was in reality mostly a F2 version, what was
obviously unkown by the manufacturer. The G version has two blisters on
the topside of the Engine compartment, to cover the MG ammounition
support and a slightly different wing tip. These are lacking on the F2
version.
The model is equipped with working landing gear, tailwheel, rudders and
flaps and oilcooler flaps. The cockpit is highly detailed and designed
well. The surface of the aircraft shows all details like rivets and
seams. There is a external fueltank (optional) and fixingpoints for two
more or any fitting weapon sets (optional, not included). Unfortunately
there are no additonal sets that are available jet.
The wire antenna and pitot tube have to be installed after unwrapping. This is simple and done fast with a bit of superglue.
The paintscheme and printed on markings are done well, but have some
misspellings. As on other models before the Chinese have again some
problems with ei and ie, So the printed on markings are very small it
doesn't show much. Who is bothered by it should add some ageing and
weathering to this spot simply. It is a very nice made model with high
collectors value!

Modellers
who miss something on this highly detailed model are free to add more
detail on there own. What is great on these models is they are not
avaliable as kits in this scale at all and would be as expensive
whitout beeing built too.
So all models are made from plastic and be fixed with screws or
superglue, they can be easiely disassambled and converted or detailed
even more!
A
profi modeler will convert this model to a superior masterpiece easiely.
The soldier figures are of the same size like for example the commander
of the Tamiya King Tiger RC-Tank. Which means they are almost the same
scale. Eather 1/16 or 1/18 scale? How ever they can be shown side by
side with other models in 1/16 scale whitout sowing the difference to
much.
The enclosed soldier figures are of high quality in design and painting
and need not to be redone. Who dislikes the moveable armes and legs may
glue them in position and paste the seams with putty.
Most customers will like the model like it comes from the box and who
hasn't the skill or time to modify the model gets a great model for a
great price! |
