Hi folks, this is the RS Models kit built in the colors of Finnish Air Force. The DR-196 served till 31.3.1944 when she had to land after the engine failure on the open sea, but the crew was rescued by Tursas steamer. On 23rd June, 1942 this plane also scored a hit on soviet sub SC-406, which eventually escaped damaged. The kit is pretty good and spot on, but all stands and falls with the proper alignment of the struts system. Unfortunately, some struts had not the correct lenghts or attachement points, but eventually I was able to fix them all (somehow:-). During the build the kit has dropped twice on my workbench causing complete disintegrating of the struts and it was very close to be binned, so I'm quite happly I finished it. The markings were airbrushed using custom made masks as I did not like the kit's decals. Painted with Gunze Aqueous, Thanks to Kari Stenman for great help with references! Cheers Libor

Hey fellow modellers, this is a recent quick build off my workbench, the 109 in the 'proper' colors:-) The kit itself is here for quite a long time now, but it is still a pleasure build. The markings for MT-213 were sourced of a Techmod decal sheet. She wore the 'warpaint' colors and in April 1944 belonged to 1/HLeLv24, flown by Ilmari Juutilainen. Cheers Libor
