This was completed awhile back but only got round to posting it here. Totally OOB (don't need much more for the Profipak builds) and finished in Warbird Acrylics. Comments, tips and critique are most welcome.

Geoff,

That's a very nice model. I've looked at the photos for a while and there is nothing I can see in terms of tips or critique.
How did you find the kit?

Hi Simon, thanks for taking the time to comment. The kit has some fit issues and needs some work especially on the wings and gun covers (both wing and cowling covers) but it is not too difficult unless you're a novice. All up - it is streets ahead of both the Hasegawa and Tamiya kits in terms of looks, accuracy and detail.

Great build, Geoff. Nice details and excellent camo and weathering.

Thanks for sharing

..indeed! that's a very nice rendition of Schott's machine. A model that deserves to receive lots of positive comments!
FWIW here's a small piece I compiled on I./JG 1 checker cowls which may be of interest..
