Very nice build. In 1/48, that has to be an impressive bird.

Cheers,
Fred

Very nice build! Beautiful painting and decals. Nice to see a Hawkeye build without folded wings. Can't wait to start mine.

Cheers for the comments guys as Jelger has said most of the E2's you see have their wings folded and i didnt want to do that .. i must say it was a real challenge to do this build but well worth it however i think my next build be less challenging

Ps @ Jelger make sure you put at least 120 grams in the nose YES 120 GRAMS or it WILL tail sit !!
