CANicoll Posted December 8, 2022 Author Share Posted December 8, 2022 Ok gents, and thank you for your patience! Finally got it to where I think I'm done (although still some nits to work out). As usual for a Tamiya kit, went together pretty well. Love/Hate the HGW seatbelts, but they do look really nice to my eyes. This is what happens when you use facial tissue to fill in for paint, and then forget to pick out all of the remaining threads: One more build to start before the GB in January to give me something to do in December. Not sure what it will be, but leaning towards an Eduard Bf109 but might pull something else out of the closet. Thanks for all the comments gents!!

DocRob Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Your Schwalbe is a beauty, Chris. I like the subtle, blended in look of the painting and weathering and there are lots of details to catch the eye. Cheers Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
