Finished this one up today.
Just a few extra details added to the pit.
My first paint job with a double action A/B(had been using a cheap Testors a/b)
The masks that came with the kit sucked!!! I made sure to burnish them down real good just before spraying. They still bled like a suminabitch! 3 and half hours of cleaning windows is a bigger pocket full of suck than it would have been to cut my own masks. Anyway, here she is!









The figs are from the Eduard set, just there for the photo op.

Very nice work, did the canopies fit the kit well?

Fantastic work Jeremy! What kind of airbrush did you use? Splendid job. Russell

Much thanks!

The only clear part that didn't fit was the middle peice toward the back (between the cone and open portion). I had to trim the fuse. at the step, about a #11 blades worth. Other than that, all fit pretty good.

The A/B is Central Pneumatic. Came as a combo with a compressor, from Harbor Freight. $107 and change, out the door, with a year replacement plan. They have the A/B by itself listed at $19.99, on sale for about $15 right now.

That's a fine looking build, Jeremy. Looks like that Harbor Freight airbrush acquitted itself pretty well.

Hi Jeremy,

Excellent work! It seems the kit is not too difficult to build. How long did it take for you from start to finish?

Very nice build, Jeremy.

With the detailed engines and interior there is great diorama potential. Very tempting to build a damaged belly landed FW 189, but it would be a challenge to convert the greenhouse to reflect damage.

Thanks for sharing

..very nicely done !

Nice one Jeremy

That '189 deserves to be a Feature too!

Darn you doing the splinter camo though! I was all set for a weathered winter scheme, but it looks so good with clean standard camouflage, now I don't know what to go for!

All the best and keep 'em coming!

Great job
Just, can't wait to get mine's in hand


Cheers Nick

Thanks all!

Not the easiest build, but not too difficult either. I think the "in-box review" is much better than a build review would be, still enjoyable though! I'd say I pushed somewhere around 50 hours, give or take.
