Bravo sir, the Baron would be pleased I'm sure!

I'd be willing to bet though, that the original plane never looked as good.

Nice work, RBR. tell us about the build itself..What kit are we looking at, for example...What paints did you use?

From the Factory on the hill,
John

John,
This is a 1/28 Revell Kit and i used a testors dark red paint.
This is a first of me using a Testors paint and it came out better then some of the others i was messing with.
The rigging is done by a ultra fine wire which was not hard at all to do with a Dr.1.Then i got the wooden prop from Copper State which i was lucky to get Eric only had one left.
When i get around to it after i get out of this bummer mode i'm in i want to add to the machine guns.
Might get the Spandau mg kit that Copper State has.
That would add a nice touch to the baron's tripe.
