I have just caught up with this Frank. I am totally blown away by this model - not least those buckles!! The new shark mouth on the nose looks right to me - just a little rough around the edges as I think the original would have been. I seriously doubt whether many of these personalised markings were ever as perfect as represented on transfer sheets - they were applied in the fileld with whatever paint was to hand after all.

Thank you Rick, Dave, Antonio, Giuseppe, Andreas Stephen for your supporting words!

Fantastic recovery, I cannot wait to see that one at FFB!
Only 3 weeksends left :o and still a lot of work. Hopefully just in time.

I try to improve my technology with every model, but this is the limit now in that scale.
Really pitty, that I cannot buy such parts.

Sure, but to paint markings like this by hand would be a lot of effort, and I'm not that good with hand painting.

The next update follows soon.

Cheers,
Frank

Thanks Rick!
The next update will need soem time, I have to find a solution for the smaller rigging on top of the fuselage to the upper wing and on the tail.
And the working week steels some hours needed for modeling ::)

Cheers,
Frank

The extra details that you have added are beyond this world as Manni has commented. This is master-craftsmanship, not just modelling.

Bug, this work is quite amazing especially considering the scale.

Very nice, Frank. Incredible detail as usual from your bench. But you reminded me that there are only two weeks left... FFB is getting closer with huge steps...
