Squadron Models 1/72 Haunebu II – German Flying Saucer – SQM0001
MMd Squadron offers us a very interesting subject of a futuristic Luftwaffe aircraft, the Haunebu II German Flying saucer.This comes in a very big box full of parts, 125 parts in total. The Kit finished will measure around 14 inches across, a big kit having in mind its only 1/72 in scale. The instruction pages are in color and in a very easy to follow steps and includes a brief history on this Infamous WWII project lead by the Luftwaffe. Squadron did his assignment giving a lot of thinking in the details, the kit show many rivets in different sizes, fitting look pretty neat, interior cabin show some seats and control panels somewhat simplified. A crew should be a new add-on for this section, and a PE Upgrade should improve the looks, even a light and sound kit too. The landing gear consist of 4 set, wheels are ok but might need a upgrade from resin wheel to show weight, and for the gun turrets, some metal gun barrel won’t hurt.The decal sheet is printed by Cartograf and provides a nice selection of insignia and numbering from one to five. Overall this kit will build to beautiful work to be shown on a Furniture, stand alone or in a diorama. Nice work from Squadron, we hope to see more relates kits in a future.
