Flabbergasting! (is that the correct word ?)
I cannot even imagine being able doing such a bild (and such a paintwork).

Many thanks to everybody for the nice words!

Doc Yo, the kit has no guns at all. The MK 103's come from here:

Amazing level of detail, makes one wonder how he does it. Highly recommended!

Pyro-manic, what I mean by Spanish school is the kind of modeling with heavy weathering, lots of techniques borrowed from the figurine guys and a high aesthetic level. Detractors say it's not realistic and that may well be but it's very pleasing to the eye. The style usually goes along with Spanish-sounding names.

Google "Francisco Carlos Soldán Alfaro" (Gosh what kind of a name is that!) and you'll get a pretty good idea.

See you all around for the next build!

Welcome to the fun here Michel, glad you joined.

I watched this come together over on that other site. You should post up some of the build/paint pictures.

Very nice build of an interesting plane.

Hi everybody and many thanks again for the comments!

Philip, I'm going on a trip and haven't got the time right now but what I'll do is post a WIP for my next build, how about that?

Ian, (γειá σου μεγáλε!) you were entirely right. Very enthusiastic response!

Happy modeling to all!

Somehow, over the last dozen or so times that I have gazed in awe at this model, I have failed to comment.

Obviously it has left me speechless!

I love it & the way the camouflage merges into the yellow unit colour is brilliant!
