Hi all,
The basic model is now completed.
Here's a few shots of the model areas.

I'll post reveal shots once the figure and display base has been done,

Hi all,
The pilot figure is from 'Aviattic' - Ltn Werner Voss (ATL004).
However, I replaced the head with one from the 'Hornet' range,

Superb, a really good build on this and a pleasure to follow. You've made me want to search out an Albatros for the WNW stash......
