I put this one on pre-order the moment it showed up. NOt sure that I'm overly impressed with their rendition of the FuG-212 Lichtenstein aerials. I wish they'd take the plunge and start putting a little PE in their kits.

I can see that I'm either going to have to scratch build some parts to make an N-2 or wait for someone to make resin parts.

Good to see stuff like this since the Italeri 1/72 kits of yesteryear.

That used to be one of my favourite kits Gary. I loved the shape of the fuselage

Master produce a great brass set for this element that should be fine for the purpose.

I think you're mistaking Master's Fug 220 set, CMOT. No Fug202 from them, darn.

Maybe Chuck will give us a master lesson on soldering a set??

I think I will be able to do just that, Gary- although it's not for the faint of heart.

I've been thinking about doing it myself, though I'm a poor solderer.

I have some 1/350 ship's railing that might work for the skinniest bits on the 202 aerials.
