Ok enough about the obvious. Moving right along !

Have been working on the Takom Krupp Raumer S in 1.35 kit. I remarked recently to my other half that I was having trouble finishing anything lately as a perusal of this blog will show.

So I let her choose my next kit. This was the result. Hardly surprising as it is a big box with nice box art.

It’s a nice big kit with no obvious vices so far. I’ve been using the themodellingnews.com review to help a little. I haven’t gone as OCD as he’s gone so that I can actually finish it.

I will comment that step 4 is much easier if you glue D14 direct to the kit body using superglue, allow to set.Then use white glue to add parts C21 and C22. Whilst this is setting gently add D13 and get all the little tabs in the C21 and C22s to click into place. Once it all looks square use some Tamiya thin glue to cement it all together after double checking your fit. The tall end of the D parts may need some extra superglue on the inside at the top and a little pressure to help the fit.

I’m currently up to Stage 5 of 9. The photos below are from an earlier point.

Nice instructions!
I’ve been contemplating doing the HobbyBoss 1.48 Bv 141. It’s major fault is the backwards propeller – it’s the grey one. Fortunately I have the Eduard Fw190 NF kit and the brown propeller above is not even used in this kit. I just need a canopy mask and some small bombs and I’ll be away after I get the Raumer done.
