Nice work! it was a fun kit to build! I built 2 of them, the first one ended up a crash diorama due to lost & broken parts. LOL The 2nd one came out great like yours. If you really get into the prop planes, look up prop blur. makes it look like it's running. Cool plane.

Thanks! It's funny how accidents and missing parts can lead the modeller into entirely different but equally "valid" directions. Prop blur is certainly something to consider, especially if I can exchange the blur for blades standing still (I am using the model for wargaming, which could call for both instances).

Wow! I had no idea how far wargaming has came. I bet it makes it more interesting!

I certainly think it does. The rules are superb, too! If that sort of thing might interest you, I can only recommend you take a look at www.warlordgames.com (They ship from the UK.)

I thank you for the info and will pass it on to 2 friends of mine. It's cool in it's own way but it never really hooked me. that's why I was surprised it has made it to this level. maybe after researching this sight it will change my mind. Best wishes
