Is this the first V-tail in the GB? Hartmann on the Eastern Front, summer 1943...

Those yellow and red sections make for an interesting scheme John  

Thanks Col.  I am in a flurry of activity these days, none of it modelling.  I think this weekend I might be back at it for a few weeks.  House renovations, etc...eats my energy.

 

It's time for decals I think.

Prop and spinner.  Nothing fancy.

Wrapping up the V-tail...

 

The decals are typical AZ fare.  Thin and almost brittle.  I had a couple fo issues with some of the pointy things on the nose and one of the Balkankreuzes.  I'll touch up the breaks with some black paint.  The swastikas are also in a weird spot...otherwise, just dandy.  Plenty of stencils too!

 

Time for varnish.

I had to wrap this up.  I cannot believe that this GB is drawing to a close.  Where did the time go?  I have only built 5!  Craaaaazy....

 

FloryWash, wheels on, prop, weights, etc...

Thanks Ray.  It's an odd one for sure, not as strange as Jockney, but still...semi fictional...
