| I built this 33 years ago, was about 70% done when it was damaged in an accident. I kept it a while and then threw it away, should have finished it. |

| Very nice, I think the paint job looks very realistic. Great idea with the tooth picks! |

| Thanks, appreciate the comments. I like the way this one turned out too. |

| You have crafted a very nicely built and detailed model- well done. |

| I enjoyed looking at other examples of this model on The Virtual Aerodrome site. These German planes always have interesting paint schemes. |

The cylinder detail was printed from a Dumas plan. I usually make a scale propeller instead of what comes with the kit. Rather than using the supplied decals to represent the fuselage guns, I used round tooth pics....the same as I did for the wing guns. |

Underside details. Notice the unusual landing gear angle. |

This was my first attempt at this type of a paint scheme, but I was pleased with the results. |

Completed model with decals and additional details such as elevators, ailerons, etc. |

To apply the camouflage scheme I used regular paper patterns as shields. With the help of an extra set of hands holding the shields just above the surface, I was able to produce a softer edge while spraying the Testors FS 36251 Aggressor Gray. It looks blue in the pictures, but actually its a subdued gray paint scheme. |

Before this picture was taken, the bottom of the plane was painted with Testors 1226 Flat Aircraft gray. This picture shows the top surface being sprayed with Testors FS 36118 Gunship Gray. |

Final assembly of main components. |

I applied one coat of clear dope. |

Everything is papered and nice and taut. |
