considering very few survived the war it is nice to see some getting restored an flying againe.

Great job.
How did you paint the spinner so well ??

well it was actually a decal to start with but it was a little short so with a mostly steady hand I had to extend it a couple inches to the back of the spinner

I have often wondered who the first German pilot or crew member first thought up the vertigo stripe for the spinners it is so cool looking an so many German fighters had that vertigo stripe.

Album info

This was a fairly nice detailed kit for the cheap 20 dollar price
built straight from the box. I hand painted the final color of the camo pattern just to see if I could still hand paint large area's it it turned out better than I expected also weathered it using my normal wash technique.

However Revell Germany did not offer the DB engine with this kit
kind of sad considering the very nice detail put into this I guess to keep the price low is the only logical answer I can think of.
