Excellent result, and you made what must have been a very tricky build look quite easy. Looking forward to your next one!

Hi all,

Thank you for your kind words. I must be honest though and confess that I've started this project around March. But other things came in the way and I've lost interest several times. However, the first picture of this thread shows the status of the model when I've returned from vacations in July. The most difficult work was done. What I did in the past days was the easiest part of the build. To make things short, it wasn't such a fast build...

Steffen, the swastika is not off center, I've checked it. It is the rudder which is offset so maybe it's some kind of optical illusion on the pics. But you are right, the cross arms should be thicker. I found them in my spare box because those on the decal sheet were made unusable with a black felt pen...

Again thank you all...

Jean-Luc
