Cool! I like it.

VERY nice Martin! Well done. 🙂

Agreed Martin. Monogram was my favorite for many years. 🙂

I'm pleased someone likes it LOL! Right now it's on the SOD for "later".

Thanks! I agree, the Triebflugel is a very interesting "what if". 🙂

Thanks Martin. I appreciate the kind comment. I agree, weathering desert schemes can be a bit difficult and it's easy to over do it. 🙂

Progress

Cockpit assembly done.

Thanks Carl. I intend for this one to be OOB except for resin wheels. 🙂

Cockpit assembly done.

Instrument panel, etc about done.

This is next up. Ought to make a good looking Spitfire model.

Thanks Vince. I made the mistake of getting one of the Trumpeter kits. Pretty bad. That goes for their N also. You never can tell about Trumpeter. Some of their kits are just fine and others are not.

Thanks Kevin! 🙂

Thanks Vince. I'm glad you like it! 🙂

I had forgotten I had built four of these conversions. I thought it was two when I started on the last one. LOL 🙃 I think four is enough!

Two more for my stash! 🙂

Re-shoot photos.

About done with this one. The GM nose conversion worked out well with few glitches. I painted the upper "Desert Sand" using Lifecolor acrylic and the undersides using Testor's Flat Gray. Decals were cobbled together from my stash. I'm happy with the results. 🙂 I decided to re-shoot some of the photos to try to get better results.

Thanks! It's mighty thick paint and takes a good bit of thinning. I was hesitant to use it but decided to go on and give it a shot since the color was just what I was looking for. I guess I got lucky with it and the Tamiya thinner. 🙂

It did give a nice smooth finish so I'm pleased. I hope to start decaling soon after some weathering and a coating of Alclad clear gloss. 🙂

Painting nearly completed. This is my first time using Lifecolor acrylic paint. It worked out okay but tended to clog the airbrush nozzle. I thinned it with Tamiya acrylic thinner.

Agreed, thanks.

Thanks!
