1/144 Pit-Road "Pre-Coloured" Eurofighter(s)
As these appear early days protoype sprues, it is not clear how much assembly you will need to do.
It can be seen in the photos that as per the description that these are indeed prepainted.

Although the photos on Hobby Search show the same weapons sprues, the text would seem indicate that the waepons packs should be as per the original kits.

1/144 Eurofighter 'Luftwaffe' - Pit Road

1/144 Eurofighter 'Luftwaffe' - Pit Road

Pit-Road have dusted off last years Eurofighter kit and are issuing a new boxing with decals for
the Luftwaffe units JG73, JG74, JB31 also for the decals for an unnamed Eurofighter of the Austrian Air Defence Force(!).

It is not clear to one uneducated in such matters, if there are any physical differences between the German Eurofighter (SN10) airframes and the recent Pit-Road Kit (SN05)?

However, i think the main kit differences is the black plastic sprue shown in the photo containing the following weapons systemd:
- Taurus (KEPD 350) Cruise Misile (Wiki)
- AIM-2000 IRIS-T Missile (Wiki)

History of the full diorama build, including liberation!

1/144 Diorama "Götterdämmerung", Austria 1945 by Lucas

Lucas is back with another epic diorama build, not one, but two aircraft and interesting diorama!

The diorama is set in 1945 Austria (Innsbruck/Salzberg area), the luftwaffe have retreated into the mountains and are flying what aircraft they can from often temporary grass airstrips. As the Allied troops advance the airstrips are abandend and the aircraft sabotaged, the allied troops are then abale to sieze them..., and before they are shipped to the the USA/UK the Kodak camera comes to cpature the moment!

I think it is work looking at the full build history, there are some interesting techniques on how to detail and dress up your diorama. Even down to the figures being atonomically rearranged!

Also, no corners are cut with the aircraft. Again full details are given on how they were produced.
It is hard to fault such an allround and thought out presentation, a lot of work went into the research and short of putting a mountian in the background i think it has come good!

Full build history can be seen on http://www.spruemaster.com/ I is a little slow at times, but worth the wait...
