As you know I don't do many German aircraft so this ones been calling out to me and as I need a challenge but the pe is somewhat small but I will see how it goes.
First up is the cockpit tub and here's some picsWP_20171201_13_22_57_Pro.jpgWP_20171201_13_21_39_Pro.jpgWP_20171201_13_21_10_Pro.jpgWP_20171201_13_23_39_Pro.jpg

Off to a good start.
The PE can be a bit fiddly, but looks good at the end. What can be helpful is the instruction sheet for the PE set when sold separately which can be downloaded from the Eduard site, sometimes has a different picture which makes the positioning clearer.

Looking great!!!

A bit OT but why do they insist on calling it "photo etch" when it fact it's 100% obvious that it's stamped?
I've done a fair bit of etching copper and good luck controlling that kind of depth throughout the whole sheet... It's just impossible to create an even pattern like that with a dual/triple stage mask and etch.
End OT. ;)
