I’m building this now and I’m about to glue the two halves together. Like you, hoping the end result is worth it. Really weird kit with wonky instructions and no color callouts. All that said, I bought the border Stuka, and I’ll probably buy any 1/35 scale WW2 aircraft any company puts out. :)
I’m with you. Matches all them tanks, trucks, and halftracks that I’ve built. I’ve only built planes because they were found at very low prices. I have this old ass Black Widow kit, a B17, and A Ju 88 Dragon Kit…all 1/48…I think combined I paid 25 for all of them. 10, 10, and the Black Widow was part of a stack of models/accessories I got for 40. Now, I’ll buy these new, all new options. Loving 1/35 aircraft 😊
Hi, Thanks for sharing and explaining the build. I have just bought this kit and very interested in the 3D instrument panel upgrade. Please could you point me in the direction on who and where I can get this detail set from please ?
Was watching you put the 3d cockpit on, thinking to myself I bet VMS slow acting CA would be perfect here, wonder if the black comes in slow acting too. Saw you use the PVA glue there, and few seconds later the .. taadaa! Slow acting black VMS CA glue. Answered that question, created another. Not confident that you could set the 3d cockpit on before the CA would begin to set? Or just more comfortable all around with the PVA? Either way, well done and wtf first step focke up??!!??
You have already discovered Border Model's big problem ... Really badly designed instructions. Plus they lack color painting guides for mist interiors... and just wait until you get to the colour options and discover the dichotomy between the decals and the options! ALWAYS triple check references and follow a good paint guide like Eduard's 1/48 109 kit or Revell's 1/32 kit instructions which cover that very well indeed.

Mine was from qunita studios. Theyre russian if that makes a difference. There are other options just google 3d decals
Thank you 👍🏻

The black vms kinda melted the seatbelts and the kept curling up. Modge podge worked better.
Id just close up the engine

Yep. Its pretty bad that the instructions are so poor.
