Small Scale Military Headquarters

i know several of the guys here have bought planes from Flying Styro. Has anyone got the Ju-88 yet? Just curious about impressions of it, if so. I'm tempted to get it despite its overscaleness.

Would be nice for both as a Battle of Britain bomber and to convert to a Mistel.

Havent bought the ju-88 yet. B-25 was nice, and i did buy the BF-110 but still havent had time to put it together yet, but it is just as nice as the B-25, smooth skin, can't tell it is styrofoam, etc. I think the ju-88 would be worth picking up!

i have no doubts on the quality. I was hoping to see comparison pics of it with 1/18 items to figure out if i could stomach the size difference.

It says length is 18m??? what is that?? its not meters and its not miles and its not microns or millimeters?????

it says WINGSPAN 18m. Which is about 59 feet. FSK's model represents the A-1 version of the 88, which had shorter wings than the later A-6, which had about a 65 foot wingspan, as did all subsequent versions of the 88.

ok, but the model is not that big.. how big is the model??

If you click on Data Sheet the scale is 1/13. Wingspan is 1190mm = 46.9 inches.

I'm thinking the 1/13 bit is wrong. Wingspan would be closer to 61" in that case. This plane is more like 1/16-1/17.

if the quoted dimensions are correct, which they probably are, it's 1/15.5 scale. FSK quotes almost all of their models as being 1/13, even though few of them are.

Thanks! anyone know what approx shipping is to the states??

Hmmm......when you look at the length its 1/15.5, but the wingspan is closer to 1/17.

Oh, well, what can you do...



...except build your own?



IRT Shipping

Weight is about 2 lbs, plus say another 2 lbs for the box and crap. What would UPS charge to ship ~4 lbs to the Czech Republic?

shipping for one is about $60, however if you buy 3 you get free shipping on all of them.

It's 1/15.5 in span too, you were probably using the longer span wings of the a-6 to calculate the scale.
