Well I finally finished it.This project has token a while but was worth it and this is how it looks like.I think I did a good job.I was experementing with the camo and I think it turned out ok.There are some places where I could have done better.But who cares I'm just learning every new project.Only been in this hobby about two years.But I'm loving every second of it.Here are the pics:












Here's a pic of the plane and the proud owner :


Also here's my workbench:




Hope you guys.Like please I enjoy comments and suggestions.Bring them on.
Daniel

PS:Oops I forgot to turn one of the engines as you see there's two with blue at the top.The one closest to the fuselage needed to be turned.Sorry guys.

Hi Daniel!

Don't tell me you build this model, shot the pictures and wrote the (perfect) english text without help!

This is a great model Daniel and an ambitious one too! Congratulations on a superb job. I also see you are doing dioramas! Way to go!

I think you have the potential to become a Master Class Modeler! I hope to see more of your work. Do you have enough models or pictures for an On Display Feature or maybe a Portfolio?

Yes I did that all.I built it and shot the pics and wrote it in perfect english.(also helps if you're Canadian ).Thanks for your comments.Very nice observation.Yes I'm busy on a dio.I'm just building a dio with a Bf 109.Some extras too I will be adding is a kubelwagen,figures,the shed that you see in the photo as well as the tree.
Here's a photo of the shed:

And of the whole dio in progress:

The tree is made from wire and steelwool.The shed is just plain paper but just a little thicker than normal paper.And the grass is just plain natural grass.
Also the dio is 1/72.
Thanks again for your comments guys they are much appreciated.

Hi again Daniel!

Now I don't get it... you are a Canadian living in Belgium or a false Belgian living in Canada? :-) Excuse me but, you know, I'm French...
...and if I may ask, how old are you Daniel?

That shed looks great, can't believe it's "just" paper

@ Jean-Luc : I think he immigrated from Canada (or his parents are Canadese and he's born here) to Belgium, cus I read somewhere he's living in Ghent.
