Here is a pic of my Revell 1/48 scale Li P 13a that was finished on Friday afternoon.
Model Master enamel paints were used and since the kits decals were very yellowed and unusable decals came from my spares box.
This picture is not very good since it was taken under very poor conditions, I take all my pics outside and it was a damp cloudy day.
Next weekend I will try and post some better pics and some of my other new models.

Ho no, more Luft 46, are you ganging up on me with Flitzer
Nice one Les, a very interesting design. Am I right in guessing that, as it's Revell, it ain't too expensive? If so I might get one............................nooooo the Luft 46 bug is biting again, where's my medication (John Smiths) :-)

Thank you Joe and Mal!
Joe,
In a few days I will post more (and better quality) pics of this model, I live on the Oregon coast and dark cloudy days are the norm this time of year making for poor conditions for taking pics of my models.
Nice weather is predicted for this coming week.
Mal,
This Revell kit of the Li P 13a is a very easy to build model and was not very expensive.
The only problem area was on the take-off dolly parts, there was some ejector marks that needed filling with putty, the a/c itself was near perfect fitting.
The bad news is this kit has been OOP for a while so finding one might not be easy, I purchased my kit years ago when I was still very active in RC flying and had not yet returned to building plastic scale models. The box art looked cool so I bought it anyway!
BTW, Why is this thread not in the aircraft forum? I can't see my post there, so what have I done wrong?
