Ahoy mateys....'ere is me new cut-off...ehem..sorry, too much Running Wild... Anyways here is my final butchery on a poor little model. The kit is PM's Messerschmitt P1111 1/72. A nice little piece of work. I can recomentd to anyone who is ready for a little makeover and conversion. I did little changes on it and applied hand made(or we can say scratch built) radar anthennas probably for FuG 220 system. Painted with Testors RLM 75 over RLM76. Weathering and smoke is charcoal and ink. It didn't end upas I wanted. It was 4 in the morning and the charcoal didn't drift away as much as I expected after the coting process. So here it is after 4783 times of breaking and rebuilding anthennas.... Chhers:

Hi Yalım!

Nice P1111 you have here! I like the camouflage and the work on the antennas is owesome! Their placement is very original. Do you have more pictures to share?
I only have two remarks. The canopy seems to have fogged a little. Did you use CA glue? There is also a glue spot (white) were the front wheel meets the ground/base. I would add a little drop of black paint to cover it...
This is a nice addition to your growing Luft'46 collection!

Thanks Jean-Luc. Unfortunately I have no more photoes yet. I'll try to take some myself these days. This one is taken by a friend of mine Plamen Kostandof (WRTBGS) from our local comunity in the Apirl 9th Airospace Museum event. The canopy is not foggy(just checked again) but it looks so because of the flash and weird angles of the frontal panel. I use Tamiya Green Head for clear parts but you are right I use Cyanoacrylate for the rest. And well saw again there is a fog around the fron wheel but this is an emergency base. I am planing a little diorama( can this be called vignette?) base for the near future so I won't paint it I guess. See ya soon cheers.

That plane has some nice lines. Great job. Is that a real plane or something that was on the board when the war ended?

Definately a poor chap on board Alan. As far as I remember doesn2t even have a wind tunnel model but I may be mistaken. After all it is not even suitable for night fighter duty, too fast. I like doing these sort of things even though they are not logical:}

I love the cammo scheme and the antennas are well done, and after only 4783 attempts, awsome

Well the anthennas were succesful after the first time but they broke nearly everytime I touched the plane...:}
