I just tried it on SB and it comes to $50 with shipping. That’s the cheapest option. But I see Hannants have the Revell kit as well, so would cost you even less to get it from them. But I am guessing the Tamiya would be the better kit.
There are some for the Tamiya kit. Don’t see why they won’t fit the Revell.
Bish: thanks for the info. I’ll have my LHS order some up for me.

Clemens! Why! [:'(] I don’t have a 335! But this is a great GB theme! I love German WWII aircraft, and don’t know how I don’t have one in my stash, but I think I’ll ask for one for my birthday and Christmas and see if one appears. If it does…no WHEN it does, I’ll let you know!

They have some Quick start sets on EBay… Just type in 1/48 Do335 detail
I just ordered my project: Tamiya’s 1/48 kit (single-seater). Not on Hannants, but on ebay. Hannants has only the kit with the additional Kettenkrad (much more expensive), but I don’T need that vehicle at all…
The kit was 30€ compared to 46€ for the kit with the Kettenkrad (I might buy an Aires cockpit set instead…)
This GB has an awesome badge now, thanks to waynec! I addedit to the front page!
That is one cool badge!!! Great work waynec! I am actively looking for a 1/48 335 now. I just missed a kit on eBay for about $13 and that was with shipping!!! [bnghead] I’m working it, I’m working it! Just give me time…I’ll get one…you’ll see! [;)]

Eagle90, I think I saw the one your talking about, while looking for some detail kits… Monogram? That is really a good kit, needs some PE and Resin but still a good sound kit to begin with, Only trouble I ever had with them was getting the hatches to fit right. I,ve had a Monogram Pro builder in stash for a couple years now, and can’t wait to get started, but it wont likely be before the first of the year. Good luck finding one, they are always on Ebay at fairly reasonable prices.
OH… Make sure you put PLENTY of weight in the nose,You dont want her to be a tail dragger!(ha)
Take care…

Sounds lime this would be a great GB. Afraid I must pass, just have too much on my plate right now. Loce the subject so will be following along.
Hey Doug,
Yep! It was the Monogram one. It went for like $12-$13! And that was with shipping. Should have had a timer set to check it!
And thanks for the tips on the Mono kit. I’m a die hard Mono/Revell guy. It’s what I grew up with (and all I could afford!). So they are like old friends. I wouldn’t have thought of the weights until I finally sat her down on her own and…plop! [:$]
Eagle90
LOL… Yeah, the Monogram kits were pretty cool, in the early 60s they had the best box art, the actual model! And yes, many a lawn cutting or snow shoveling earning went to those good ole kits! Those were the days! Ha…
Yeah, just get yourself some fishing sinkers (like the small ones that look like buck shot) cheap locally and epoxy those buggers in the nose area any where they will fit and not be visable and you will be all set! Well, take care for now, and good luck bidding! You’ll find one.
Doug
Mowing lawns to get kits! Oh yeah, I remember doing that! Model kits and Estes rockets! That and running up to TG&Y (a 5 and dime that used to be down south) to pick up some Testors paint and that god awful tube glue! Each only being about 25 cents a piece!
Thanks for the tips!
Eagle90
Stop it, stop it! Your making me feel old! (lol) When I started buying those tiny bottles of testors enamel paints as a kid they were .12cents. (Lord I’m getting old) and I had to snitch a little gas from the lawn mower to clean my brushes out, I would’nt even want to try to build a model like that now. (grin) When I was starting to work My first REAL job was working at MPC models. They made every thing at the time, Glue, Estes rockets Craftsmaster paint sets Lionel Trains and were in partnership with Airfix of England.
Oh well, Gotta quit the time machine, Hope you find the kit you want, Chat more later…
Take care,
Doug
One of the most impressive late-war machines, and often overlooked. I have one of the Dragon kits in the stash but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to commit it or not. Certainly watching if nothing else.
No problem, Vance! Just let me know if you decide on joining the fun.
Hey Eagle… just saw a steal on E-Bay. a Tamiya 1/48 do335 9.99 (unfortunately its for bid) and 7.76 shipping! Plenty of other Good deals to in our beloved Revell/Monogram and even some Pro Modeler versions! Take care…
Doug
That’s really a steal! Good luck with your quest on getting your hands on one of those kits!
Hey Rigidrider,
Thank you for the heads up! But it looks like Christmas has come early this year! I have been told that Santa is sending a 1/48 D0-335 to this address! THANK YOU SANTA!!!
