Hi Everyone,

Just finished last weekend, which I was building alongside my Messerscmhitt `108, but which took a bit longer for some reason

Hello,Russ - My compliments to you on a beautifully built and finished '123'.That camouflage scheme is an awesome piece of work and is a credit to your mastery with an airbrush. ;) All the best,Paul.

Thanks Tony, that`s one of the reasons I started the Chinese sub theme to my WWII stuff, means I can do some different stuff now and again. Might try a Gladiator next

Beautiful Hs-123! I've always wanted to do a Chinese version (I've built two German versions, and a Spanish Civil War version), but I think I'll stick with an overall green topside over grey finish. There's no way I could (or would) do this complicated a scheme.

Regards,

Jason

That's great, the camo must've been a pain though!

Yeah it was an experience, I did it a bit at a time, a wing one day, a bit of the fuselage the next and so on, spent about 45 min`s a session.

Glad you like it, Cheers

Yes, that is very well done, the scheme really sets it apart. Kind of reminds me of the strange 'doodling' the Austrians had during the First World War.

regards,

Jack

Very beautiful :) - the painting of model was for sure difficult, but how difficult it was for a real thing!

Cheers
