Thanks Guys, your comments are appreciated, in answer to some of the questions raised, the antenna are the kit supplied ones Tony, yes I did resist taking all the raised lines off, with it being an old kit I was not prepared to rescribe all of them, that being said the fit on the top of the fuselage was not brilliant so with a bit of filler and some Mr Surfacer there was some sanding to be done which took the lines off, so I have to rescribe some of those across the top.
Steve yes Drewes is still alive and well in Brazil and I believe from contacts that I have he is making his way over in October, whether it is here or Germany I know not as yet.
Dave , thanks for the vote of confidence, it was satisfiying getting it together, and a lot of work went into the interior cockpit area with the Eduard etch that is available, but may favorite was actually painting the camo on her, then the model really do start to come to life.
As stated at the start of the thread, if you can lay your hands on one of these for a reasonable price it is well worth putting up with the niggles!
Cheers
Andy
