LF: 48th scale Mistel Conversions
« on: August 09, 2012, 02:26:09 AM »
Does anyone know if you can get Mistel type nose conversions (see below) in 1/48?  I don't want to have to buy entire kits but just the conversion bits.

So are you trying to not purchase the DML/Dragon Ju-88 Mistel kit?  :)

Antares Models has a couple of conversions listed on their "Luft'46" Models page but nothing that looks like the warhead section in your image.

Correct on both counts.  I have found conversions in 1/72 and 1/32 but not 1/48.

Keep in mind that the DML/Dragon kit contains a complete Ju-88 bomber kit plus the extra parts for the Mistel so maybe you could convince someone that has a need for a stock Ju-88 to go in with you on the purchase of the kit with you getting your Mistel parts and the other party parting with a next to complete Ju-88 kit for their own project.

Yeas, but that still leaves me with a Fw190...and besides I might want 3 - 4 Mistel conversions...certainly don't want to have to buy 3 - 4 full kits...

Who said anything about keeping the FW-190?  Send that along with the Ju-88 and forget about it.  Or are you implying that you want the FW-190 for a project? 

As for the cost problem you can buy in quantity to reduce the price for each kit.  As crazy as that sounds, it does work sometimes to your advantage.  I have managed to benefit from this on several occasions to get a price break at the little shop in Tacoma (Discount Models) where I can enjoy wholesale prices if I do enough volume purchasing. 

Sometimes the only limitation for these things is the size of your trunk :)

If you wish to run with the big dogs then you have to accept some things as they are and suck it up or opt out and sit on the porch :)
