OK, this one I'm calling finishedP1060503.JPGP1060500.JPGP1060504.JPGP1060502.JPGP1060501.JPG

A nice model - no fit problems, and absolutely no filler used. Lack of seatbelts was glaringly obvious, through the really clear canopy ( remedied with an Eduard Mosquito belt ). No mention of adding weight in the instructions - you need a LOT, to prevent tail sitting.
The model has loads of detail, and despite it's 'easy assembly' tag is well worth a look - if you can find one! My efforts at fading & weathering the OD topsurfaces don't show up very well - oh well..............
Thanks for dropping by
Dave
