Many thanks for the positive feedback guys. Of course there are some bits I would have liked to have done better (next time?), especially 1/32 faces!! As to the trailer, I think it's a 'Luftwaffe oil service airfield cart', which I imagined DAK might have used too. I don't know who made this 1/32 version - it was an unboxed resin set from a random find from a private seller on ebay. Verlinden and Aircraft Accessories appear to offer (or used to?) 1/48 versions.

Tim, You refer to /32 but the kits are 1/35. Did you, horresco referens, mix the scales ?

Ouch, you're right, that was all 1/35. Brain fade, probably as I'm working on a 1/32 Me109 now!

Only the cockpit completed so far. I've shared a couple of pictures in a new album. Need to practice my 1/32 (or 1/35) faces before I do the pilot.....

Well if he wears huge goggles, one will not see much of his face...

Absolutely brilliant dio. Doing a middle Eastern one at the moment, but its nowhere near this standard. I must keep practicing.
