These aren't the best pictures, but the best that I have for now...will get some better close-ups later in the week. Enjoy. Please understand that I never strive for 100% accuracy with my models, I like to get as close as possible without too much minute details nitpicking. Not that there's anything wrong with that, just the way I choose to partake in our favorite hobby.

Any and all comments welcome.

Nice, I see that you have progressed a bit since that first aircraft you posted. From what I can see I can't see any noticeable seams like on the first Bf-109. The paint job looks smoother too. I look forward to seeing more photos.

Nice bird looks good. Is the prop and nose cone suposed to be that colour from the instuctions or did you choose it. I personaly think it doesn't quite go with the rest of the plane and would look much nicer with Black props and perhaps green or red nose cone.

Hi Vulcan!
Looking very good. Congratulations!
You are progessing in leaps and bounds with every build.
I could nit pick but Im not going to, as Im sure you can see the areas that you need to work on and will address them in future builds.
Keep up the work and good luck.
Happy modelling

Thanks Nigel, as always, I enjoy your comments

There are several areas on this one that I could have improved but overall I'm pleased with it. It's all part of the fun for me to try new things and techniques with each build.

As for Chris' comment, above...I just chose that prop color - I think the brown goes well with the overall scheme. I know it's not 100% accurate but I like it. Thanks for the comments!
