Yea! ... after the Duxford weekend i was looking for some wings 😉

And i like the 1/32 Tamiya kits ... they are perfect for something in-between. High detailed but "easy" and a pleasure to build .... (ok .. they're expensive, but its worth every cent (or in my case Rappen ...) 😉

Looks great! I really like the weathered look, and the framing on the canopy is first rate!

Thank you mates for your encouraging words.
@ Essi : Almost done because due to the lack of the undercarriage .... 😉 The canopy is out of the box.
@ Markus I would say "Hairspray" its the AK Interactive product AK088 "Worn Effects" its cool stuff works very well with a Citadel stippling brush ...
@Jens: Ja die Japaner waren auch lande nicht meine Feld, aber Sie geben farblich gute Kontraste zu meinen "Engländern" und den "Deutschen" 😉

Finished ... !
Its was, considering the size and the complexity of the kit , a a quick build.
All insignias are masked with Montex masks, fair amount of work but i like the result 🙂

What do yo think?

Albi, How did you take photos in both deployed and retracking mode?!

The Tamiya kit is almost like the real thing!!!
The landing gear is moveable ( bounce up and down with springs !!!) and all flaps are moveable too ...
First i think its like a toy but in the end, you don't need to decide an standing plane or an flying plane on the stand .... (I will put some pictures of it later)

Hallo Albi! Hut ab, meine Hochachtung! Ist ein beeindruckendes Modell geworden... wieder einmal- und wie gewohnt- inspirierend 🙂

Vielen Dank für Deine lobenden Worte Roland.
Ich habe eigentlich mal nach einem etwas grösseren "Farbtupfer" gesucht 😉
... und es war eine gute Übung für die Montex Masken ...

Super Modell und super Fotos. Ich hoffe, wir verlieren dich nicht an die Fliegerjungs 🙂

Hallo H K, zuerst mal danke für Dein Lob.
Aber eigentlich bin ich ein"Fliegerjunge" der gelegentlich bei den Panzerjungs "reinschaut" 😉
Aber keine Angst, mir macht beides Spass 🙂
