Because of the subject and the scale (1/48), and while not strictly an aircraft related model, Tamiya's new VW Type 82E "Beetle" kit can be an interesting counterpart for a Luftwaffe WW2 or Allied post war plane.
And it's a lovely little kit!

Nice review Jean-Luc

you did not answer my question in another thread about how the staff is thinking about posting links to other sites. I will do it now to be subject to your veto.

There are two threads in Track 48 forum with some nice information on the Käfer:

VW Typ 82E ... (do not be shocked, the question is from me, but there's plenty of information .. especially from Bruce culver)

and

VW Off-road Buggy

furthe rlinks in those threads.

Hi Steffen

There's no problem as far as I'm concerned. Links to informative articles and discussions elsewhere are to everyone's benefit.

And yes - neat review Jean-Luc! I just popped out in my lunchbreak to see if I could get one of these, but ModelZone didn't have either this or the Luftwaffe ground equipment. I obviously couldn't come back to work empty-handed, so I went crazy bought a new kit I'd promised myself I wouldn't buy, because I've just got no room for it! - Hint: it's big, black and Wellington-shaped...

All the best

Rowan
