Yeah, I just looked again... still no pics. Maybe it's just my Firefox on Windows 10; but the rest of the pics you posted earlier all come through.

Did you refresh your browsers cache? My machine is running on WIN 10 and Firefox, too...

I am on my iPad these minute writing this. All pictures showing and the link is working fine, too.

Drop me a PM with your email addy and I will send you the picture when back at home from Austria, maybe on Monday.

So how big will the 1/48 scale will be wingtip to wingtip? I've been thinking about getting the Ho229 myself. I'm keen on the Super Diamond Yasuri too.

Considering that's $47.11 in US dollars for the Ho229 isn't a bad price. Although $55 for the Super Diamond Yasuri is a bit too much. LOL!

The box ( I have the kit with me here since about a week) gives a full span of the "real" aircraft of about 16.80 metres. This equals to about 35cm in 1/48 scale. 13.8 inches for you guys over the pond.

All righty then... I want the 1/48 scale Ho229 LOL!!

Thanks for posting this Thomas, but I'm not seeing any pic. I clicked on a link to the Photobucket site and all I got was a light grey box where the pic was supposed to show. I even clicked on the magnifying glass icon to blow it up, thinking that it might load then; but all I got was a white, empty screen. Most of the time your pics show up. Lately though, I'm missing a lot.


EDIT: I think I know why now. I clicked on the link to the overall Zoukei-Mura album and it wouldn't let me view it. It said this album is private.
