Your Gotha looks outstanding, especially all bombed up!

I thought to myself, the whole reason the Gotha exists, is just for the bombs......it's just a platform to deliver those weapons someplace.  Those bombs are the most important thing.....Okay maybe I have been in the basement too long working on this project.  I might be thinking too much about this.....The only other thing that is saving the rest of my mind, is that Google Play Music just released the whole Led Zeppelin library and the whole Metallica library.  I just got my vintage SX-850 Pioneer Receiver back from being totally refurbished and I got my Optimus 1000's and my Akai SW-130 speakers re-foamed.  So I am now set for another major project.  I'm thinking converting the WNW GIV to a GVb....maybe I am delirious  ???

Man, this is looking really marvelous. 

Sound is SO important! I feel bad for the younger generation who has only ever heard Led Zeppelin (or Mozart or Charlie Parker) through ear buds. I envy you having gotten your system refurbished....mine needs it badly.

Cheers from NYC,
Michael

Your Gotha is absolutely brilliant, the addition of the bombs adds that perfect finishing touch.

Very clever and effective modelling and, as for the painting - well, just brilliant.

Cheers,

GrahamB

P.S. I've still got plenty of vinyl records (including several Led Zeps) and a decent sound system - pity I can't fit it in my modelling man cave too.

It will be a showstopper, for sure.
The camouflage that you selected takes the best of the two worlds (light blue and lozenges) and you played a master"s execution
Bravo!

Hello Zavod,

My apologies for not seeing this before - I'm thinking of a Gotha in the future and yours is beyond excellent!

The lozenge work is incredible!

Man, that is such a fantastic job.

Loved going through this thread and impressed how you picked this up after such a long break!

That hex-painting was genius!!

One day I can get this good...maybe!
