Great job on this!  I really love the "Anglo-Saxon" cartoon on the rudder.  Your air cover "umbrella" can only do so much against the Luftwaffe!  By September, the Germans were much less smug about it all.

In spite of your difficulties you have completed a very good looking 111.  The finish and build are excellent.  Thanks for sharing.

Looks great - I really need to ditch my Italeri kits and get one of these. It looks a lot nicer than the Hasegawa with its overdone panel lines.

 

Cheers

Ah, a belated Christmas present, this one... 😲😁

 

Superb all round... so many things to like; excellent weathering on all surfaces, proper shades of green in my opinion, flawless execution of the correct splinter pattern layout, correct positioning of the swastika on the tail under the forward location point of that extremely annoying rudder balance and best of all, the proper presentation of the codes on the right side of the fuselage - sadly, something that I see less and less often nowadays, where the overall unit code, in this example 'G1', the code for KG55, should always sit to the left of the national marking, no matter what side you're looking at.  Thank you for getting that correct.  It is literally the cherry on the cake for me.

 

Exceptionally well done... 😉👍

The figure with the umbrella is most likely British PM, Neville Chamberlain. The umbrella he always carried became a symbol of peace and statesmanship around the time of the Munich crisis and became a very popular image. The Luftwaffe crew took it up here, to show Chamberlain’s umbrella might stop the rain but not their bombs.

Who had been moved to the front bench in May 1940 to make way for Churchill.  Very interesting!

Thank you, everybody for the really positive responses. I didn't think this model would generate this much response. I'm really happy you liked it. :thanks:

A lovely build. I've been thinking about building mine and this is a great inspiration to dig it out.
