Well, yes and no. As Armour Addict pointed out, NOT mucking it up would have been a crime in Germany. which this model was supposed to be destined for according to the number on the box. The mistake was sending a "made for Germany" model to a US customer.

Hi FVD,

I know what you mean. My point is, I wish FM would simply feature a blank tail as opposed to placing a ficticious marking there.

You're right, that would be better. Then you could apply a decal yourself if you want (or paint it with an appropriate mask). The task is made much more difficult by their applying that stupid insignia.

Mmmmh, strange...

One of my local shops and the official FM distributor for Germany have this image for the G11E198:



FM never ceases to wonder AND humor me...

DIM usually has a good selection and will order anything you want if he doesn't have it, but he goes with MSRP, so usually no deals to be had. However, there will be a decent sale every now and then.

Hi TopHat,
I went to DIM today and that's a great shop. Lots of aircraft on display. The owner (Greg I think) was super cool and we talked for quite a while. Thanks for letting me know about them.

Does anyone know which variant He-111 this model represents?
