    Beautiful stuff there, Peter - and the paint job is superb! I've always loved that 'squiggle' over the splinter camo.

    Like Joaquim, I'm looking forward to your take on this plane, Dave. The Dark Side pulls ever stronger when I see things like this...

    All the best,
    Matt

    It's part of the vacform canopy. You can see it in the first picture, prior to attaching.

    Not as iconic as the Ju.88, but certainly worthy of a place on the flight line.
    I see a new stat list is needed

    Yet another fine conversion Dave.
    That pair should raise a few comments when they fly onto the table.
