it found it's way to a museum display. The painting
of the wood sheathing is really well done.
The radiator is amazing! Could you explain the process
you used to fashion it? Thanks for sharing your work. :)

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Cheers,

Bob

Cheers,
Lance

Post by: lone modeller on October 20, 2014, 03:35:24 AM: I agree with all that has been written. An unusual set of markings but the standard of the paintwork leaves me speechless…….as doe the rest of the build!

Post by: Odysseus on October 20, 2014, 03:55:50 AM: Thank you all for nice comments!

Yes Bob, this one used by German "Pasha" units in Palestine Front. At the end of the war transfered to Turkish Air Force.

Ernie, i used Press-n-peel Blue PCB transfer paper for etching. This technique is not allowed for high details but ok for radiators. More information: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fBlYEKqsRo

Isn't this just one of the reasons why I so love this forum: a top notch model and interesting and unusual markings. I feel that I learn so much from work like this.

Best wishes

Post by: stefanbuss on October 20, 2014, 05:25:11 PM: Very well done. I really like the double-radiator-setup - this is a thing not shown very often.

Congratulations!
