That is one seriously beautiful looking machine Ian. Never thought of it as a Finnish bird but it fits superbly.

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

really nice modelling, so suits the scheme too  :thumbsup: (youll have to do a 262 to go with it now methinks, hehe!  :wacko:)

If I were a young stripling I'd say something like "awesome!", but as I'm not instead I'll say, in a manly way,
"this is truly wonderful modelling and I've thoroughly enjoyed the trip watching you put your Huckbein together...and you've done it with acrylics too, which makes your feat even more impressive.."
Well done...you've set the bar pretty high and that's a very good thing
can't wait to see your next project

Nice one Ian, EXCELLENT one even!  :thumbsup:

Are those the kill markings on the fin?
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! :)
