Hi Jim,
Fantastic build.She looks great.

Any chance of any in progress photos?or have I missed your build?
I'm considering the new airfix Ju 88 in 72nd scale so once I get the kit,I'll certainly refer to yours to provide inspiration.


Cheers

Jim, Wonderful tropical Mädchen aller Arbeit! The Eduard item really sets off the landing gear. Is the canopy cemented closed - I'd love a peak inside!

Hi fellas, thanks for the kind words. I don't have many "in-progress" photos but I did leave the canopy loose and sent Jessica some photos. I don't really know how to post them directly so I'm relying on her kindness. That being said, thank you Jess SO much for getting these photos on-line. It allows me to share with my brother who lives some distance away and is a fellow modeler. Take care all and again, thank you.

Jim

Thank you very much Ernest. It was done freehand with my Badger dual action airbrush. The first time I attempted free hand with this airbrush. The Badger airbrush is excellent. Take care and thanks again. Jim
