Since I didn't quite get this finished for the bomber contest, it's safe to post a picture here of the work in progress. It's an HBM 1/200 Dornier 217 with its first coat of paint. It will eventually have the light blue 'squiggle' pattern over the green splinter camo, and you can see the two Fritz-X missles on the base. They will be glued onto scratch-built pylons under the wings (between the engine and fuselage) - the missles arrived Thursday from AIM (along with some other tasty bits!!).

This has been fun to work on and paint - quite the nice little model. I'm tempted to get another from AIM in resin and do up a version with HS-239s...or perhaps I'll get their He-177 and put the Henschel missles on it...
ANYWAY - my first kits from the Dark Side - I'm sure there will be more...
All the best,
Matt
