Here are some pics of my latest model, a rare Messerschmitt light bomber used to attack forward Allied airbases at night.
The model is 1/72 scale.








This ''what-if'' model was made from the Revell BF110G, Matchbox Me 410, and Italeri Ju 188 kits.

Hi Les

That's superb! It'd make a fantastic subject for a Feature illustrating how to graft kits together. Have you got shots of the construction?

All the best

Thanks very much Rowan!

Sadly I don't have any pictures of the build in progress, I built this one and four other models all at once so I did not get any pictures in-progress.
Can't wait to show you the other models I have been busy working on.

Hi Les!

Nice to see you again!

Now I know why we didn't saw you much lately... you were busy in the hangar! That's a nice aircraft but did you already gave it a name? MesserJu 141088 perhaps?
Your work on the pictures is amazing as usual!

Thanks Jean-Luc!

For a few weeks I gave up working on any models and considered giving up the hobby for good but the last couple weeks I have returned to building and you will see some results of that work in the following weeks.
