one question comes to mind, how much weight did you add to the nose to keep it standing. I somehow don't trust the instruction from Revell about it.
thanks

Is that the repro of the kit that was released ages ago?

This one came out maybe the middle of last year.
I haven't built mine yet as I want to get in more airbrush practice before I tackle that camo.

Unfortunately, I was so excited when I got the kit,
I didn't think of the nose-weight till it was too late.
There is an after-market nose weight that you can buy for the REVELL 1:32 UHU.
Look on the internet, pretty easy to find.
I just let mine lean back, it kind of looks like its lifting off the runway.

This is 1/32 and ALL NEW TOOLING. A really nice kit, especially for around $45 bucks.

Thanks for the info. I have not started mine yet as I'm currently working on something else. Would you be able to post some pics of yours ? I need some motivation before diving into this big guy
