It looks as menacing as it was. Great work.

Thanks for your comments, mates!!
Gary, I can say "Light and Shadows"...!!
At first, it's really a great kit but I think it's a little bit over engineered. Many Details that you won't see later. Fit problems around the nose and the motor cowlings. No witchcraft, but in these areas I had to fill and sand something.
The cockpit is really a highlight. You only need harness to complete.
There is only one decal option (Africa-Version), which I find a little poor for the rather high purchase price.
But this is probably a sales strategy, since the kit already contains parts for other versions.
Overall, a kit that I can definitely recommend ...... with the mentioned drawbacks.
In any case, you will get a great model for your display case.
Horrido......
Stefan

MUCH obliged for the informative and helpful reply Stefan. I am waiting from someone like 'Eaglecals' to bring some decals out as I want to do mine in an Eastern Front Winter whitewash scheme.
Once again, it's a great model mate and thank you.

Stefan! Love the subject and your take on it! The figures and the base adds a lot, I wish I ever came around to doing something like this ! Did you freehand the camo or did you use some kind of mask? The green dots look very consistent in a way that I find difficult to achieve.

Stefan,
Are you saying that they didn't include any seat harness in the kit?

Thanks, mates!!!
Yes, Magnus. I brushed the camouflage spots freehand. I use an "Infinity" airbrush gun from Harder & Steenbeck with a 0.4 mm nozzle. The paint is very diluted applied with little pressure.
By the way ........ I think you can be proud of your models. Your 72s are just great and always a feast for the eyes !!!!!
Michael, the kit doesn't contain any harness. But I think these accessories are worth buying.
