I will use the ART set partially. This means the air brakes, the left wing gun installation, the engine, some parts inside the cockpit . But I will not leave the engine completly without cover.

Danke Holger! Ist noch nicht fertig. Habe im Moment wenig Zeit was dran zu machen. Komme aber langsam zum Ende. Nächste Woche habe ich Zwei Tage frei. Mal sehen, was dann geht.

Hallo Christian, deine A-36 habe ich ja ganz übersehen. Sie schaut sehr gut aus und die Medaille ist redlich verdient. Die Alterung ist dir hervorragend gelungen. Sehen wir uns in Ried?

@ Urban: Some times it is not easy to understand the decission of the jury but over the years I learned to accept it. It stays a Hobby. The best Hobby of the world.
