Les,
Outstanding build as Usual. paint and weathering are top notch. The finished model displayed and photographed at the airfield, really does look like the real thing.

Great looking photos of your model, Les. I like the one in muted color, best. It looks a lot like mid-late war color photos.

Les,
I am a fan and student of yours. I look forward to your next model.

Sadly I know the big mistake of this kit and once you know it is glaring... (still, have many of these in the stash and they are easier to build than Eduard)

Very well done, Les! Camo and weathring is excellent. Especially that photo 3 looks like a still from an old Wochenschau movie ....

Thanks Steffen and Tortsen!
Steffen,
Yes I am aware of the Pro-Modeler 110 series of kits having the engine cowls and spinner slightly undersize, its a shame about this problem but at least there now is the Eduard 110 kits available which are said to be better. I will get one when I can and find out.
