Cheers all, and Paul - although you may not say that about the main canopy - picked it up and guess what was left on the fresh acrylic canopy paint

Looking real good Phil ! Any idea what the purpose of the wing hash marks is ?

I have no idea Christian, both Superscale and Hasegawa decal sheets have them though.



All done!




I planned to leave the canopy open but the window dive angle decal looked much better with it closed

the resin gunsight is nicely done, used the kit glass on it

Quickboost radio set























the reason for the exposed engine !


The Tankbusters - home base






Painted with Model Master enamels (RLM 65 % 04) Gunze Acrylics (RLM 04 70 & 71) various Humbrol enamels for detailing.
Decals were a mix of Superscale Hasegawa, and Eduard Swastika's

Looks very nice Phil . Definitely makes me want to pull mine out . Alas, this is not the time.

The dive angle lines are really a nice touch. I hope my decals have that detail to them .

Cheers, Christian B)

According to the manual, Labeling for landing flap setting, see drawing 129.502/512 on page 4

It seems it was used to sight the junction to tell if the flap or ailerons were actuated.

Paul, real nice! I checked my stash, no B-3.
