Great photos Bruce! I really like the 2nd to last, must fight the urge to build a 109 right now.
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

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...
