OzH Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 (edited) Finally finished, only about 3 months late as it was supposed to be part of the KUTA GB! MPM's kit is, IMHO, great, I had very few problems, and those that did arise were only small, I think the biggest criticism is the size of the box! it was huge, actually an influence in getting this one done! I may have liked to see a more position able canopy, as it was a bit on the thick side I decided to have it all shut up, a nice after market vacformed canopy would be nice. Any one up for making one? This kit is now under release from Eduard and includes the interior and exterior photo etch. I bought this all separately, I have to say its a must, really nice detail added. Onto the pictures: And a picture of some of that nice Eduard PE Hmm, maybe I should take the mask of the port wing spotlight! Just noticed that!

Col. Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Cracking work OzH. Can't say I'd given this kit any consideration until seeing your build, now thinking it needs adding to the stash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeew Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Lovely work OzH. Like you say, seems a shame all that detail is in there and you can't see it properly with the canopies shut. The faded paintwork is very well executed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
