Never dealt with them, but the website shows the green version in stock and they do worldwide mail order.
(they've also got the B25, Mosquito and ME110)

Hope this helps

the FSK Ju-88 works out to 1/15.5 scale. It's the A-1 version, used early war up to the battle of britain by which time it was being replaced by the defintive a-6 version, with longer span wings. Very nice model, if you don't mind the overscale-ishness.

Hey thanks guys, Im defiantly getting the Ju88, it only works out to be about 3 inches longer than it should be in 1/18, and when your talking a plane that size 3 inches is hardly noticeable, I would hold out but I doubt I ever see a 1/18 one produced. Now I can make a Mistel with it and on the custom nose that Ill make Ill shorten it up a bit to make it look perfect with a 1/18 109 or FW-190a on top.

Hey do ether of you know where that Apache Princess B-25 that was on here a few posts back came from? Is it the same company as this, they show a B-25, I was just wondering.

if you have any experience with 1/16 armour vs 1/18 that will give you an idea of the size difference on the Ju-88. It will be quite noticable if you are familiar with the relative size of the real bird...especially if you make a mistel and have a 109 perched on top. Not trying to burst your bubble, just to avoid any disappointments you might have when you see it...it's an expensive kit. If size differences like that don't bother you that definitely go for it as it is well detailed (get the super detailed kit, not just the basic kit).

FSK also makes a B-25, which i have. It's about 1/17.1 scale. Really nice. Highly recommended. Get the super detailed kit of that one too.

btw.....yes you place your order with FSK and then they email you asking which version you want, what your address is etc. Odd system but they are ligit.. By far the cheapest way to purchase these aircraft too, unless you find a private seller on ebay, which is extremely rare.

I would really like to have one of these, but I am running out of room for these big birds.

Agree with Aferg about FSK. They are legit. I ordered a B-25 from them earlier this year. Only thing was they were quick to answer emails up until I paid, then I couldnt get them to respond, but B-25 arrived in about 2 weeks but was a little worried for those 2 weeks when they didnt repsond to the emails. However, i think they were in the process of moving that time so may have been that. I will order from them again.

Not yet, but when I do I think I'll get the B-25 also.

I stopper buying for awhile period, Ill be getting a Horton Kit from Mathew but that will be it for awhile. To much stuff, not selling fast enough....

Even though they will be in my personal collection I need to make room for them on the shelves until I can get around to building them.

Today I took the leap of faith and ordered one of these. I will see how close it is to the rest of my 1/18 collection as a bomber or as a possible Mistel.

I could not pass up the deal at this website.

http://www.roi-import.com/catalog/produ ... anguage=en

Green is out of stock but they have white.

I got it and had it shipped to me in California for around $150

Anyone ever got anything from them before??

Today I got an email that said shipping was 68euros not 15euros. Owell. Still cheaper than directly from FSK.

FSK appears to be out of business. My guess is that you got one of the last ones.

Yeah, their domain name is up for sale, so that most likely means they are cashed in.
