Thank you! Need to make a decision whether to go for the crazy box art colour scheme or the more sedate two-tone green version...

With that nice bargain it doesn't hurt too much to invest in some nice aftermarket, that cockpit looks absolutely superb!👍

Talking about luck... Getting it at that raffle and be able to build it so nicely like you did, I bet you made a lot of people jealous, including me! 😄 👍

It's taking bloody ages to do the stripes! Done the horizontal stabilisers and half of one wing so far after 3 nights at it!

Nice thing on the camo. How do you apply it? Did something similar on an F-15J, then I started with the black (primer), applied some blutack, did the white, covered that with blutack and sprayed the brown. Think it is the easier way to work then the other way around...

I did the whole thing brown, then marked out the stripes with blutak, sprayed the white, then moved the blutak slightly and sprayed the green. Worked out pretty well.

For some reason, I am not really convinced about the underside camo, but everything else is simply fantastic, a truly outstanding job.

Spanjaard, i think that we are so spoiled with perfectly and neatly painted models that we forget how the maintenance personell had to deal with it in field conditions. If i imagine some poor bloke with some leftover paint spraying stripes on the underside of a Ju-88 getting a cramp in his arm and neck from constantly looking up and getting paint in his face i think this is what it really might have looked like 😄 and Kevin did a pretty good representation of that👍

Alexander that's exactly what I was going for!
Ha ha, no I'm still an airbrush novice and am
not good at freehand yet!

Got this for the princely sum of £1 in a school raffle, added some photo etch - it's a monster of a kit...
