Finished this one over the past couple of days. It was meant to be 'wheels down' until I broke one of the undercarriage legs. Main colours are from an AK Real Colour Luftwaffe late war set and I also used a 3d printed interior decal set.

Here are the pics.....

Love the 'in flight' set up Nick, shame about the undercarriage, like Dave mentioned above, they are so often the weak link in a perfect kit, but you've rescued it and turned out a beauty despite it... :thumb2: :thumb2: :thumb2: :thumb2: :thumb2: :thumb2:

A very nice looking build. In flight mode (ok not as planned) suits it loads. Nice one.

Nice finish Nick despite the loss of the undercarriage.

Cheers,
