Hi there

Absolutely fantastic! I think I've still got the kit stashed away somewhere. I've often thought of tackling it, although mine wasn't very well vacu-formed in places - the wing roots are so thin, they're badly crumpled and will need a lot of repair work before even trying to actually build the beast!

All the best

Rowan

Just an outstanding build, especially since it's a vacuform kit. Super paint scheme, and the weathering is perfect, with that used but not abused look. Certainly deserves it's 1st place finish in the MOM contest.

Thank all of you for your nice words and comments! Merlin, not only your model has some problems with thicknes of the wing roots:) I had to use a piece of balsa wood, epoxy glue and tons of putty. Joel, its always hard to achieve good result when you have to use only one color:) But using differend shades od khaki is labor- intensive, but rewarding!Irek
