This arrived today, a gift from Carl, I can’t even say how so bloody grateful I am. Thank you!

Really nice thank you for sharing. Cheers Martin

That looks really , really good !

Nice! I somehow missed out, looks really "tractorish" I like it

And it is looking awesome, great show Ron. Cheers Martin

Phenomenal work Peter, I wouldn't expect any less from you.

Incredible !

is that 1/48 scale Revell ?

I was watching your unboxing video Peter and if you don't mind me noting one detail related to the tail. I would not use the D9 drawings for the tail, D9 tail was specifically build piece for D9. V18 had piece that was modified from standard tail by grafting (extending) the leading edge (crudely) and modifying the rear flange. Therefore D9 tail does not and never will match the V18 unique, one of a kind converted piece. It is close , but not the same. If you look at the pictures of V 18 closely , you can see the surface difference in modified areas. Cheers M.

Now I fell like such an idiot , because this exactly what I said to Ernie, " the HB Fw-190A would be a much better starting point " Yet I have no skill set, that would allowed me to get anywhere close to what you presenting in your builds with an ease Peter. Great research work. Cheers Martin

Thant's amazing Rob ! Beautifully detailed trip down the memory lane , thank you for sharing Cheers Martin

The number of punishments for my mohawk was countless. I could hide it under the normal hat , but baret was constantly slipping off, especially on parade, ( ( look left -salute ) etc. good times

Yeah , I think I will sell my liver to Arnold in order to buy this baby

What a display of spectacular engineering and power. Thank. you John.

Hell yeah !

That wasn't blame , it was a compliment :). I am still in the gathering phase , and Carl generously sent some bits to me, so I can build the correct A/C from Hasegawa's kit. Hopefully I will be able to join Carl soon. Also I need his knowledge and help. Great and inspirational work buddy. Thank You again for your kind help.

Sweet , Harvey is the Man !

That is correct, also older E models were sometimes retrofitted by the new brake.

That's the guy form the hole?

wheee!
