He he. I still think it is a good conversion set. Think it was the 1st d-13 conversion set. Might retake the photos without the flash.

A further suggestion, a few years ago @russ c who posted up the thread posted a great build,but on a garden table, I suggested to him that a "natural" base and setting the camera to blur the background would help, but he took the idea onbaord and did far better than I could have imagined, using simple bases and very effective backgrounds, have a look at some of his RFI's. Some you now have too look at carefully to see they are models. an example, I'd suggest your model is as good as this from http://hsfeatures.com/features04/fw190d1332ir_1.htm but note how the simple background actaully means you notice the model more. here's the real yellow 13, note how this would not be too hard to replicate Another member, @PlaStix again uses simple backgrounds, which really set the model off, or don't distract, at the moment it's like a gourmet meal on a paper plate with some plastic cutlery, really not doing the dish justice, even though the model as it stands is excellent, it does not show your work at it's best. Meant as postive encouragement, if you can build the above and do well composed and lit photos, a simple background should be a doddle. cheers T 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the advice, it's very welcome.I have also redone some of the photos of my bf 109 f-4 jabo, I must admit the photo with the background looks excellent.
