It really came out nice, Russ, and your weathering is exceptional!  The backdrop and diorama make for great photographs too.

 

Cheers,

Hi Russ. I have a question. All of the reviews of this kit cite problems with the engine and cowl. Did you did you find it cumbersome or ik-fitting?  Thanks Russ

Great looking build of an unusual subject. Nice finish too.

Apart from the usual ltd run, mixed media kit challenges it went together pretty well. If I remember correctly: if you mount the cowl and engine in the centre of the fuselage it doesn`t look right, so after looking at photo`s I mounted it lower down so the windscreen, gunsight and cowling looked lined up.

Hope this helps

Cheers Russ
