Usually the whitewash effect doesn't work well for me but this one looks not too bad. Cheers Greg Indeed Greg - I really like this early WWII plane and you did it justice.

almac Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Very nice model there Greg. I've got that one in the stash with the same box as far as I remember. I think the decals are ruined but I think I will give it a go in the new year. Cheers Allan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Hi Greg. Hope you are keeping well. Fantastic to see you back and with a superb Henschel! I'm really glad this old kit was a mojo booster - I've missed seeing your fine work here on Britmodeller. And painted with good old hairy sticks too! Brilliant! Looking forward to seeing your next build. Hope you have a wonderful New Years Eve! Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Airfix kit has some nice details in it and builds up well without any fit issues. Well worth considering if you want a relaxing build. All the best and Happy New Year to you.

This build was a real moral booster as it went together so nicely. I have completed an old tool Airfix Hurricane IIB which I hope to post later today as long as photo bucket behaves. Enjoy your Hogmanay too! Cheers Greg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookytooth Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Hey Gregor, sorry I missed this one. A classic Airfix kit, remember it well in their catalogue back in the dim and distant 70`s (early). Done a great job on her. Keep it up mate.
