     Purchased in the middle of 2006 from an online Hobby Shop at a small discount. The eagerly awaited (well, at least by me) the MPM He-177 in 1/48th scale. Who would have thought we would have something like this a few years ago? So, there was an old vacform but so what? Injection moulded spells accessible. It is beautifully produced, and being Czech you just know there is going to be a shed load of aftermarket resin and photoetch to follow - and there was. Accessories include (to date):

 

  • Czech Master Kits CMK4175 Resin "Armament Set" = Bomb Bay

  • Czech Master Kits CMK4174 Resin Engine Set

  • Czech Master Kits CMK???? Metal Undercarriage Legs

  • Czech Master Kits CMK4176 Undercarriage Bay & Wheels

  • Czech Master Kits CMQ48012 He-177A wheels (resin)

  • Eduard EDEX186 Kabuki Tape Mask set

  • Eduard ED49035 He-177 Greif seatbelts pre-painted in colour

  • Eduard ED48543 He-177 Greif exterior

  • Eduard ED48365 He-177 Greif interior

  • Eduard EDFE365 He-177 Greif interior pre-painted in colour

  • Nautilus Models Wooden Wing Spar Brace NAU48803

  • Loon Models LO48222 Heinkel He-177 Bomb Racks (3) with open and closed sway braces

  • Eduard BIG ED EBIG4881 including ED48543 Exterior, ED49035 Seatbelts, ED49365 Interior and EDEX186 Paint Mask

  • Loon Models

    1:48 Heinkel He 177 bomb-bay and lower-fuselage contour correction. This gives the modeler a properly contoured rear bomb bay with the step at the rear of the bay.
