BetterTimes-Henry
Thank you for all your kind comments. Very much appreciated. I am still learning as I'm going along. It's a great hobby! I was thinking for a long time about how I would do the white wash winter camo and then got my inspiration from DSM (Josef Choren) of his Hasegawa 1:32 Storch in winter camp ... refer to 28 minutes into his YouTube video Youtube Video. Recommend if you have not seen it to watch his whole video, awesome!

Mr James
Wow, thats exceptional well done. A beautiful result indeed

BetterTimes-Henry
Thank you Mr James for your kind words.I think I must've watched that YouTube video like 20 times or more before I tackled my model. You never know how you will go until you try. Lucky I did not mess it up 😊

Ignacio von Braun
Amazing. I like. How you make the radio antena so realistic?

gorby
Very nice work!

Neuling
Top work!

Marco Gallmann
Amazing details 👍

BetterTimes-Henry
Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback. Any feedback, please. Does anything look strange? Just let me know. I am still very much a learner with 1:48th scale aircraft. I usually do 1:35th scale armour.

BetterTimes-Henry
I think the "sponge method" wear and tear looks a little too much?

BetterTimes-Henry
The radio antenna is made from AK Interactive 1/48 rigging, very thin copper wire wound up to look like a spring (a bit too thick I think, but I could not get thinner copper wire), then a 2 mm hole punch on thin copper sheet (moulded into a cone over a rounded tooth pick) and finally super glue dabbed on rigging (4-5 times top and bottom) until it was big enough (painted in AK cremeweiss colour). The entry into fuselage was made from spare ABER M50 Super Sherman 35034 brass metal set - small part just look like the right shape ... LOL pure guess 🙂

CaptGPF
I thought the weathering was done right - especially around the cockpit area where it would see a lot of it from the opening and closing.

Vincent
The radio antenna looks impressive!

J35J
Great work, paint job and weathering!👍🏻

BetterTimes-Henry
Thank you CaptGPF, Vincent and J35J for your kind words of encouragement. Very much appreciated ☺️

Mr James
Agree with all above. The aerial is a great touch.

Spanjaard
about the weathering, it is at the end a personal choice, some people like models like new, some like they have been years under harsh conditions.... yours look really good to me. but at the end, it is your own opinion what counts 😉
the antenna is fantastic, i need to copy that when i do my 109

BetterTimes-Henry
Thank you Spanjaard for your kind words. The small cone on the antenna I made from copper sheet that I molded over a tooth pick was a little hard to control. I've seen another modeller use a small rod which he sharpened into a cone then drilled a hole thru it, I thank that may be easier and I'll try that next time.
