Hi folks, first posting to the site.

A late production P13.A in an Afrika Korp theme:







The late production P13 featured revised intake trunking, speed brakes, and a quartet of 20 MM cannons as the early configuration with two 30 MMs were considered too slow firing for the mix of targets which where encountered.  The major advance was the addition of lightweight versions of the X-4 air to air missiles.

Thanks for looking

Thanks gents.  It's the PM 1/72 kit with a generous degree of plastic surgery.

I always hope for the best.

experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Nice one Stan, that looks great! Welcome aboard.  :thumbsup:

Quick tip on posting pics: you can set the width of the pic by putting WIDTH=x (x is in pixels) in the IMG codes like this:

Here's how your original picture links look:

[img]https://i.imgur.com/yhFdnlJm.jpg[/img]
[img]https://i.imgur.com/kER51R9.jpg[/img]



Here's how you can change them to make all the pics 600 pixels wide:

[img width=600]https://i.imgur.com/W4MpR5Im.jpg[/img]

And here's what the pics look like:

Is that the thing that was meant to use coal as a fuel?

The model looks terrific, no matter what fuel it used.  :thumbsup:
