That's a HEFTY conversion, and it looks pretty good too.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .

Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Recently offloaded some of my stash reduction candidates to my LHS so didn't feel bad blagging something a little different today.  Would have picked up an IBG PZL.11 had there been one with Polish markings so instead treated myself to an ArmaHobby PZL.7a (https://www.armahobby.com/pzl-p-7a-expert-set-1939-1-72.html).

Picked one up at SMW Dave. Needless to say it's still in the "to do" pile  :angel:  Looks a nice kit, if a little "fiddly".

Gondor

Received today from eBay

1 x 1/48 eduard 8114 ProfiPACK edition Albatros D.III bought by mistake after Kit posted a link about captured aircraft and an RFC Albatros caught my eye. The only thing is the pictures were of a D.V not a D.III so this one will be flown by a Norwegian and painted appropriately in Blue.  ;D

For me I think the fiddlyness will be photo-etch related.

What have you used for Polish Khaki on your previous Polish builds, Chris?

The Rat

Old Airfix 1/600th HMS Hood. Not normally something I do, but the price was ok and #1 son is a naval nut, so I'll lash it up for him.
