Model finished. Some things did not work out good. Model treated as a attempt before a larger scale.
Enjoy watching :)

Astonishing, when you consider what you started with, Jacek.  Your detail and paint work are superb.  This is a model I would be proud to have in my collection.
Cheers,
Bud

Hi jacek.

What a great "little thing" you have there. The painting makes your skill to excel. Very nice indeed.

Congrats for that beauty.

Cheers.

A crude kit brough to a fine-looking-model standard. I admire your determination to deal with such a type of the kit when Eduard's one is around and the final result you have achieved is stunning. Congratulations, Jacek!

Great job, Jacek!  You have done a wonder of a less than
great kit.  I look forward to your next build!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

A very impressive build of a very basic kit. The metalwork on the nose is excellent. I would just like to know what did not quite work out as expected because I would just like to be able to make a model of this standard! Very many congratulations.

Very impressive! I didn't believe that kit could be built into such a fine replica until I saw your model. By far, the nicest Revell Eindekker I have seen.
