Well, this just landed at my door and thought I would post some quick pics (ignore all the paints etc on one of my workbenches)

This looked good in the pictures and what a set it really is. The painting of the V1 is really very good. Plenty of detail on the set and some good decals also have been added. You can also see it works very well on the Figarti ramp so, blending the two firms releases will be easy. The two V weapons are well scaled with each other so, a big set up could be achieved with these and whatever TG will release in the future. The two figures as you can see are excellent. Well painted and detailed and, the Umbrella on the figure is actually in two parts which, is very clever as it avoids any issues of damage that might occur to such a piece if it had been one unit.

Dietl is knocking around in the background and is also as a club figure very well done. For me, this is the best release of the year so far by miles and, bodes really well for further releases from TG and the V series

Never put the Reichenberger on a ramp it was always launched from an airplane and never from a ramp !!!!!
guy:)
 
Look very nice , thank for posting the photos , should get mine today
 
Neil/Wayne....

Its a great set as it arrived at the crack of dawn I have had more time to give it a good look and its very impressive I am really looking forward to the expansion of this range. I also like how they have started flocking the bases just little things that make the figures stand out.

Guy...

of course that would be as bad as putting 1960's German camo on WWII troops. But, as we know the hobby is about fun and, if you think people are not going to place it on the ramp in scenes and dio's your rather mistaken. Thanks for your input though!!!!

Ok Mitch I understand, but I wanted to give some accurate historical background to the Reichenberger . I am still waiting for mine to arrive . I am now looking for a 1/32 scale Heinkel 111 to make the scene complete

The revel kit is the one I would recommend as its stunning in detail and by far the best Kit I have seen. I have built one for a collector and have one for myself that I have yet to get time to build. All for accuracy but, it was also for scale purposes the ramp and, whatever facts are put here people will still see the one being launched from the ramp in the film and use it like that

Anyway, we are distracting from the fact that this is a superb set and the only flaw would be that so few were made so that more could have bought it. I just now look forward to the next releases
