Great photos Bruce! I really like the 2nd to last, must fight the urge to build a 109 right now.

I know this is digital painting—but how that looks in the air—a hawk!

Great photo's - thanks for sharing guys.

I've just go the kit through the mail today - actually for such an old kit it looks pretty good. Okay the interior is non-existent but the exterior details are nice. The decals are in great shape.

Looking forward to this one.

After about an hour's fettling - we has an airplane!!!

I've not bothered to scratch a cockpit on this, not after seeing how little was visible in my 410. Instead I'll just be adding an IP decal and the pilot - that should more than suffice ones the thick clear part is on.

A bit of filling to do next - not too much as the fit was pretty good, and I'd already filed the parts to make them fit better.

Cheers!

One hour? :shoutout:

I’d be lucky to have the cockpit assembled and base paint on that assembly work in an hour...
