Bird Models Vril 1 Jager comes in a brown packing container with a printed label stuck on with sellotape.
The model itself consists of 11 very hard smelly resin parts The upper hull The lower hull 6 pieces to make the landing gear A blob that represents the turret Couple of parts for the cockpit which were not very good. There are 2 clear canopies provided. I used a Dremel to grind out the resin blobs inside the cockpit. I decided not to use the kit parts for the cockpit instead using an Aeries Me Bf 109E-3/4 cockpit set. I Cut off part of the seat bulkhead and glued this to the floor. I then heated the Sidewalls in hot water, bending them to fit the curved walls of the vril cockpit. The rest of the Aeries Kit I built as per the instructions. The lower Hull was quite warped and needed an amount of reshaping with hot water. I spent a lot of time trying to decide on landing gear. In place of the turret provided I used a panzer 1 turret left over from a First to Fight Kit. |
