Thanks Holly, I wanted to try and make a prop that has had a fair amount of use, so along with the chipping technique I tried for the first time at fading as well. I'm over the moon with the result.😄😄😄

Thanks Nathan, I'm keen as mustard to get stuck into the rest of her and slap some paint on her.🙂

Hello Michael 🙂 Fw 190 is always, the Tamiya A sticks almost by itself, I'm there, maybe it wakes up the desire for me again on the series Fw 190 😉

Holly she is a very nice kit to put together, I'm doing my best with the MEK to make sure I don't leave finger print glue stains anywhere, so extra care is being taken.

Jens, I hope it does get you interested in reigniting your interest for the Fw, I'm using this kit as a lost MOJO breaker. Plus I have about a dozen Dragon/Tri-master Butcher Birds that are just about ready for air brushing I should really get into them, so I'm hoping this inspires me to move onto those as well. I've got about 20 Bf 109G's that I'd like to pursue and I'm seriously thinking about tackling that Ju-88 again.😢

Chris and Stephan, thank you both, and you are both welcome to come along for the ride.🙂
