Hello!

Out of the bench :) Modelsvit's 1/48 P-55 Ascender as a Witold Lanowski's fighter :)
In box model looked  awesome...Putting it together was another thing :) I cannot fully reccommend it - lots and lots of sanding and fitting, terribly hard PE parts (needed to be heaten), fragile styrene etc...
But finished at last and I'm quite happy to have another monstrosity on shelf :)

Over kill is often very understated .

Well, if that's a monstrosity, you've done an excellent job of pulling it all together to make a masterpiece! :bow:  :bow:

Nice, the adapted paint scheme suits the P-55 well. Very cool work.  :thumbsup:

Great technic style , and the Color's fit's absolute perfect , I like to see the underside too.
The Spinner looks very nice , big is beautiful here .

And the letters are very good to read from the moon  :thumbsup:

In Germany it means HVZ = Halte Verbot Zone  , like NO PARKING AREA , I use them in my job for movers
It's a Land Rover, NOT a Jeep . Like a Jeep, but for gentlemen.

Wrong scale but I can forgive you that.  Looks great.

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

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

HVZ, I have to remember that! I had to look up P-55 to see how real that aircraft was. They actually flew three prototypes. It's contemporaries were just as strange. They all looked like whiffs Tophe might build.
Your build looks great especially considering what you started with!

That's amazing, and I love the monster Polish 'Squaral' aft of the cockpit.  :thumbsup:

Reminds me I have a 1/72 on in The Loft.
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! :)
