That looks superb to me. I especially like the propellor - very well done. The 3 - colour camouflage scheme is also very well done. Excellent pieve of modelling.

   A really impressive model Robin, and your detailing is especially impressive as it's done on a 1:48 Scale subject. (it looks like the larger scale to my eyes) You've added a lot of "extras" as well and your efforts at keeping it an accurate representation of the real thing are apparent. Yes, we learn with every model and you have a healthy approach to that process ......... enjoy the Builds and keep up the great work! 8) 8) 8)
Cheers,
Lance

Four weeks is about the time it takes me to open the lid on a box. 😀 I've said it before, but it bears repeating; your speed in combination with very good results is impressive! Beautiful build! And I really like the masked six!!! /Fredrik

Nice results Robin.  Fine detailing on the interior and a nice prop and bomb rack.

Fredrik,
 You're working at light speed compared to me!  ;D It takes me 6 months just to decide, let alone flip the lid.  :o

Robin,
 Another little beauty - Well done!  :)

Thanks guys!
Bud...it's good to be back and (better late than never) finish builds.
Been here twice before and left in shame twice...unable to finish a build, despite all the encouragements and support.
I came back with unfinished business on my mind. An untouched ridiculous stash of WWI models waited patiently.
That's probably why I built as fast as I possibly could and with determination...I had to prove myself.
Failing three times was not an option! You're one of my heroes of olden glory. Always kind and supportive...I finally didn't let you down.

Glad to be back now.

Robin :)

Nice work! I have one of these waiting in the queue, and you've inspired me to move it up.
