The Wooksta!

Special Hobby did a pair of Ju 388s, but they're not easy builds and there's some shape issues with the engines.  And they're long OOP.

Always liked Planet. As you say they tend to go together well and quite quickly.

I have only ever built one of their kits, and as someone who is still quite wary of working on resin kits, it was quite an enjoyable experience.

I can't recommend Planet enough, although I think they're now very overpriced for what are niche subjects.

I suppose that most of you have already heard this, but if not, there is some terrible news from Mikro-Mir. It has political elements, but I would prefer to quote them verbatim rather than leave anything out. Posted on their facebook page on January 23:

QuoteToday we received very sad news. Defending the independence of Ukraine, Kostantyn Kolobov died. A 3D designer who created many wonderful models for us. I made a selection of his works for AMP and MikroMir. Two weeks ago we buried one of our employees who was also a soldier - Oleksiy Shvorak. And now again...
This terrible war takes away the best Ukrainians, turning their lives into miserable zombies from Siberia. May those ruzzsky inhumans who take innocent lives every day be cursed. Glory to Ukraine, eternal memory to the heroes.
P.S. His latest work for us is the Junkers 388. No matter what, it will be implemented soon.

That's just terrible. :(
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

This is going to be the norm for Ukrainians for the forseeable future, unless this war ends in Ukraine's favour, because if it ends the other way, their suffering won't be over.

A timely reminder that the war may have become background noise in the media, but it's still a war, and there's still a country fighting and bleeding for it's very existence.

Very much so.

Let's hope the proposed Ceasefire isn't just another cynical delaying tactic. :-\

I've got money I can't afford to put down on that that's exactly what it is ... And I'm not a gambler.  ;D

I'm inclined to believe that but, I cannot really develop that point without falling foul of the "no politics" rule.
