Wow, Alex! I'm really impressed with the level of detail on the FUD model, and you've captured every detail. You can see the step on the fuselage side, the armor panel lines, and a lot of detail in the engine intakes and valves. The paint job is flawless, especially at this level of magnification and picture-sharpness!
(I am really pining for the day....coming eventually... when we can get the detail of FUD with the robustness of WSF materials.)
Great work, Alex.
This one looks awesome.
Voilą le soleil d'Austerlitz!
Excellent work, Alex!
I love the colors.
REP!
Beautiful work here, Alex! I really like the various German ground-attack planes, and this one just went up a notch or two on my 'to-get' list...
Great work with the camo scheme, too.
All the best,
Matt
Thank you, guys.
@Daryl
Yep, quality of the FUD prints is getting better and better. A little drybrushing on the engine revealed nice details.
I'm waiting for the day, when we get the quality of FUD for the price of WSF
PS: If the plane drawing looks familiar, it is directly from Daryl's [ReducedAirFact] overhead images in his album.
PPS: Important! The front arc on this plane is for ground straffing, not shooting other planes.

And because the top-down shot was so nice, perhaps more appropriate:

Just saw this and great job.
It's a beauty, isn't it?
Very nicely done Alex!

Plane and cards are great.
Fellow Pilots,
What about this version for the card, due to the aim point of the front arc?

A six-gunned version?
Not sure how you'd want to rule on this version, but a "Stall maneuver must be played each turn" penalty could be considered. Not actually sure this would be a penalty, if you were ground straffing, though.

Only just seen this for the first time. Beautiful paint job on the AEG. REP inbound. I have only used WSF so far myself, but it looks like the FUD is well worth it if you can achieve this sort of result.
Like the cards too - agree with the yellow forward firing arc as an indication of ground straffing only - very helpful.
Great plane Alex! I love the detail you get with FUD.
Thanks for rep, gentlemen, and thanks to Mike for providing the cards.
Superb, Pete!

Absolutely splendid stuff here, Peter! LOVE the lozenge treatment...
All the best,

Two wonderful AEG's, Peter!
I hope they performed as good as they look at the game you ran at Huzzah!
Thanks guys. The green/purple one had a wonderful first flight...the camo bird on the other hand, 2 explosions from infantry fire!
