Been following your build as I want to do one myself and the end result looks stunning. Cheers Phil

Thank you. I used Montex and Eduard mask sets. Montex provides interior and exterior masks while Eduard only exterior but I found the latter to fit better. Well worth the money as they made quick work of what would otherwise been a very tedious task!

Eric,
A really impressive, clean build. I do have to say that the cockpit glass is the one feature that really stands out in your build. And your masking/painting came out perfect.

Wow, this very nicely done!

The glasshouse looks so fragile. And the colours fit very well. Great job on the subtle weathering.

Thank you all for the very kind comments. 2015 was a great modeling year for me as I was able to build decent 1/48 (my preferred scale for such things) kits of two of my favorite unusual aircraft - this one and the Pilot Replicas Saab J.21.

Both aircraft have intrigued me since seeing them in books when I was just a young lad.

Cheers,
Eric

Thanks! I used Eduard and Montex mask sets. Worth their weight in gold.
