Great Work Pipz! :aok

I notice you keep the gear up in most of your models. Do you display them on stands, or hang them up?

Hobby Lobby sells some pretty cool looking model aircraft stands.

Well Done!

I don't know what brand of polish you used, but it didn't do a very good job - there are still black smudges under the wings, etc.  Maybe you should rub harder or use a different brand of polish. . .  .











Seriously - looks great!   What brand of model was that?  Most of the time I see either the Mk. I/II, or the V.

Have you also built the Tamiya version?  How does it compare to Hasegawa?  I've got the Tamiya 1/48 in my stash, but IIRC, it's the Vb model.

Sometimes I wish we had a modeling section on AH - I've got a feeling there's more than a few of us who also build models of the AH aircraft.
