I knocked this little guy out over the week end as part of a challenge build I am involved in with my local club. I had more fun painting the pilot figure than the remaining build. Something about working with oils again. Anyway, here he is in all his glory. He got attacked by an A-36 Apache if you can't tell...
Thanks for looking, "Q"

Hmmmmm, a friendly fire incident.
I'm pretty sure I built one of those when I was a kid. You did a nice job, especially considering it was a weekend speed build. Brings back another childhood memory, too--I had some kind of "Snoopy's Sopwith Camel" thing, but I can't recall any details.

Thanks guys. It was a lot of fun. Looking to do the Messerschnitzel and the Funfdecker at some point too. I wish I could find the Snoopy and his Dog House one. I remember building that one as a kid. Thanks again for the kudos. "Q"

I just found a messashnitzle last weekend. Going to build it up as a Bf-109z v-13 racer, the super charger is asking for it.

That Apache was pretty good with a bow and arrow. Nice model.......Al
