Good info update, thank you

That are old photos. Nowadays the CL-215 have been replaced by CL-415 with turboprops engines.

The main thing I remember about the Lindberg kit is all the huge rivets!

Oh, yes !

Hi mate,

There is an error about compressed air (not oxygen only) because it's written "für MG 17" and there are no MG 17s at all on the G-6. A possibility is G-6/U4 with an axial MK 108 and in this case that should be "Preßluft für MK 108". In any case this marking comes over the cross. As there was almost no "heavies" on the eastern front, it's most likely a standard G-6 with axial MG 151/20 and MG 131 over the engine. Hence no marking for compressed air. The oxygen (Sauerstoff in German) marking is the one just at side of the red dot (electrical connexion) on the right side of the fuselage. This latter marking shoud be located on the hatch cover.

I hear it is closer to 1/75

I never got this kit and can say nothing about accuracy of scale...

Hi,

Beautiful project. If I remember well, the B-10 did exist in 1/72 scale model by William Bros.

OK. After the photograph I think it's accurate.

Yes, I must agree. The Lindberg kit is.........better than nothing, I guess. I have (in moments of weakness) thought about bashing together elements of F-84 and F-105 into a Lindberg F-91 but planning was as far as I went.

The fuselage of the Lindberg kit is good enough. The most difficult thing to do is to give an accurate surface to the wings. Wheel wells must be created, as the entire cockpit, the tail rockets (fortunately they were inactive on the V-tail version... The canopy is too big and must be reduced in size...
I don't remember all what I did on this kit.

I had thought also to make the version with the nose radar...
