Hi Jean
That's one great looking Butchers Bird.
Well done.


Cheers

Jean,
Just an outstanding build. Your camo paint scheme, decaling, and weathering are all simply superb.

I do have one question since I'm less then a neophyte of German WW11 aircraft. The antenna seams to be attached to the sliding canopy. In the open position the antenna looks taught. What happens when the canopy is closed?

Joel

Hi Joel

This type of canopy had a pulley system to keep the aerial taught, whether it was opened or closed. The later bulged canopy did away with the pulley, so the aerial went slack when it was opened.

All the best

Rowan

Nice work. I had the same model, it was long ago )))))) and in 72 scale. Good luck jean

Thanks to you gentlemen.

As the French say, superbe!

Very nice, the yellow spiral on the spinner is quite unusual, was it particular for JG54 at this time or just Nowotny?

Beautiful build. Looks very nice!

Thanks for sharing

Nice work!
