Hi Les.
Another beauty!
Either you have a lot of models inprogress or your building like a madman!
Seeing your great Luftwaffe mottle finishes Im getting very tempted to build the Academy 109 D thats sitting in my stash amongst the Spitfires,but if I build another Luftwaffe subject Im going to looking at a stash consisting of various Spits and not a lot else
Great mottle finish,,you really nail that,and the spiral spinners you do are very nice.
An inspiration.

Thanks very much Nigel!

This was by far the worst fitting DML kit I have built yet, but like the other DML kits they do look good when finished.
The decals were badly yellowed and cracked (I have had this kit in my stash for years) so I used decals from my spares box to mark my model as a machine used by JG 301 had they flown the Ta 152C in WWII.

I can't get over how realistic everything looks! It's almost as if the great looking planes are just the iceing on the cake.
Another beautiful job Les.

although the model is most impressive the way you photograph your builds is what strikes me as the most impressive thing. that first pic looks so much like an early color pic. definitely fitting for a ww2 bird.

Thanks Joe!

It is easy to age the B/W pics but to get the color pics to look like old WWII era color photographs is not easy.
