Congrats on an excellent build Christos. Your weathering and replication of heavy use are spot on. Thank you for sharing. Take care. Jim

Chris,
Just an outstanding build. Your painting is superb, but your weathering has transformed a model into a museum quality replica of a particular Mf 109E from the Battle of Britain.
