Thanks Jan @janneman36 and yes, I did find a very, very tiny “S” in the spare decal box to change the name from Hermann into Hermans. Hermann did appear somewhat unlikely in hindsight  🙂 Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

 

Thanks also to @bryanm & @Pete Robin for your comments and those who used the “like” feature. 👍

Thats a smashing model of this strangly ungainly and yet at the same time sleek looking aircraft. I have promised myself one in the same colours in 1/72. You have inspired me to get on and get one.

Nice model of an unsung hero of the air battle over eastern Indies! Cheers.

[Sky Keg]

Thanks Pete, that’s great to hear. I think MPM does one and according to IPMS.NL special hobby was meant to release one this year in 1/72. The 1/48 Dora wings is already tiny itself.

 

 

Thanks also to @Zigomar, @Sky Keg, @Maginot and @russ c for their comments and anyone else who reacted with a like 👍

Dang, what a lovely build! Always liked the Demon/Interceptor with its oversized engine and its frighteningly thin rear fuselage.
I hope Dora Wings scales this one down to 72, I'd get one in a heartbeat!
