That is really lovely, Guy.  The paint looks so crisp and clean, and the marking are just right.  Beautiful model of an interesting aircraft.  How did the kit go together, overall?  I have one in the stash.  Very well done.

Best regards,

Bob

Hi Bob,

To be honest, it’s easy peasy. Really simple, small parts count, great fit  ;D

You should enjoy it.

Hi Guy!
First - what a beautiful aircraft! I think you've nailed it when it comes to the choice of markings and the colours! Also very skillful use of the masks. I'm quite tempted to get one for myself!

Second - it's interesting that it took longer for my letter to get to you than it took for Bob the Buckleman's letter to get to me. I imagine that they pretty much must have taken the same route but in opposite directions. So what postal service was actually slower and where was it slower?! I'm not sure I can live with the uncertainty! 😬😃

    Another beauty Guy, and in record time. The finish is superb and the markings as well; a shift in subjects is looking good on you!
Cheers,
Lance

Yes Fredrik,

It’s a mystery! I can’t really see why it should take so long, perhaps put a tracking device in the next one!  ;D

Thanks Lance, yep, I’m quite enjoying my foray into other areas tbh.

Another wow! Gisbod, your speed and quality index is impressive, since both are on highest level. And ICM seems to create great kits these days. The Benz Motorwagen I built recently was also a impressive kit.
Your paint work with the matt metal finish looks perfect for this bird.

Cheers,
Frank

Superb build Guy. You have really captured the quality of this aircraft - super finish a super rigging. First class modelling.
