That's nice, and I like the way you've portrayed it in post war Finnish "roundels" rather than the perhaps more obvious choice of using the swastika.

Now you mustn't leave us on tenterhooks. What happened to the crew after they were picked up ?  ;)

Joonas and Petri were traded for the navigationally challenged Soviet pilot who had landed at Utti.  Much to his disgust as he had been having a very pleasant time hidden away in a hut in the woods with nothing but a pair of snow bunnies and a case of vodka to keep him entertained.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Ah, thank you  ;D :thumbsup:

Your use of post war Finnish roundels has also given me the push I needed to start on my next build by the way (see my Blog entry) so thank you for that  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Excellent model of a hideous aircraft! :thumbsup:

Less hideous without the bolted on extra guns but still not exactly a beauty.  I went looking for another kit so I could do a wing and engine swap but it turns out they are rare down here.

Came out great! Love the dark camo and how the markings go over it. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Whichever way I look at a 1099 I always think scalorama B737-equivalent potential.

Or Messerschmittify a 737!

Hmmm, a 737-100 in Luftwaffe markings and camo might confuse a few people.  :o
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! :)
