AnonymousDFB1 Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 (edited) Never built this kit before so this is gonna be fun. Depending on how well I do I might try a little 'extra' Photo of the box and sprues to follow. Edited September 11, 2010 by Mish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowmk9 Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 fair enough Mish. I like the intrigue, the suspense! you say you're going for a scheme with some mottling, so its a late BoB aircraft or even sometime after? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 It's actually 2010... stop procrastinating, and post some pictures! You'll have to excuse him Mish, he seems to have developed a new obsession with pictures of other people's model aeroplanes think he's at a difficult age. Quite glad you did post the sprue shots, first I've seen of the new kit, looks nice with plenty optional parts to cover various versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentalguru Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I've got one on the go too at the moment Mish. I'm nearly done squeezing an Aires cockpit into mine. Not difficult, but not particularly easy either. Will get it into some paint over the weekend, and maybe post pics soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
