Well done Bob, you made an ungainly looking a/c look pretty cool. I have new interest in sprayed on markings.
Dave would be proud and pleased.

I think I "need" one in 1/48 scale.
Thanks,
Allan Buttrick

Lovely work all round on the Junkers Bob, she looks really good. And the base is a very touching tribute, what a great touch.

Very very nice, Bob. Great job on the model.
But I wonder, the base is touching but it brings to me the New Zealand silver fern and "All Blacks" symbolics. Was it your intention or is it just me?

    Beautiful model, base, and a very fitting tribute Bob. A pleasure to follow and wonderful to see the talents of the von Buckle Bench up in the high Lights once again!
Cheers,
Lance

A very fitting tribute to Dave and a superbly finished aircraft.

Hello Prze,
 Thanks for your comments.
The silver fern is solely there out of respect of Dave's nationality.
Cheers,
Bob

I agree, that actually is a very good idea. I will try that myself but I think I will paint the bookmarker with varnish to prolong it's life.
