Helmut FraundorferFirst off, thanks for everyones comments! Chris, yes it is the Eduard kit. It wasn't an easy kit to build especially the motor assembly next to the brassin mg mount was a challenge to put in place. And the decals are very tricky as they tend to just roll up in a ball ones removed from the backing.

DennisGreat work - what colors did you use for the camouflage scheme? I especially like the faded appearance!

Helmut FraundorferHi Dennis, i used Gunze colors. The green and the gray on the underside came straight out of the jar as listed in the manual. The RLM 81 is a weird mix i created myself as the gunze paint H421 is called brown violet but it turned out that is just olive drab... Which would have been too little of a contrast for me. So i tried to match the paint to the shade from the manual. The faded appearence was accomplished by adding random highlights to the base colors.

Helmut FraundorferDanke für eure Kommentare! Ja Holger, das ist die A-8 von Eduard! Zum größten Teil ein toller Bausatz, er hat aber auch seine Tücken!
Wilfried and everyone else, thanks for your comments!

Holger Kranich@ Helmut: Da gibt's etwas Probleme mit den Waffenabdeckungen in den Tragflächen, oder?

Helmut FraundorferJa, unter anderem! Wenn man auch, so wie ich, das Brassin Set für den MG-Stand verbaut gibts ebenso Probleme beim Einbau des Motorgestänge. Aber unterm Strich trotzdem ein toller Bausatz.

Album info
This is the first model I finsihed in my new Hobby room in our new house and thought that's reason enough to share it here. 🙂
Due to building our house I have not had very much time for the Hobby, therefore I was a Little rusty on... well pretty much everything. 😄 It's been a fun build however and I am looking Forward to more time for the Hobby.
