Nice work indeed. This kit is thoroughly excellent, and was a great reintroduction to the hobby for me, despite its complexity. Everything fits, and the instructions are clear and logical, with only a couple of language barrier hiccups. The only serious problem was that it spoiled me. Other...

Oops.

Thanks for sharing. I've always wanted to build a 1/32 110, so I'll be following this closely. Please post often!

Nice “6-feet” models: look great from 6 feet. Those old kits can still be fun.

Nice!

The question forces one to pick an airplane that’s either a compromise (P-51) between low and high altitude performance, superior at neither, or superior at one and inferior at the other (P-47 high; F-4u low, for me). I took the P-47 for its combination of ruggedness, firepower, and speed at...

Please keep the updates coming! Tamiya Corsairs are my all-time favorite kits. Can’t get enough of them.

How did you achieve the mottled effect on the fuselage sides?

I can support the votes for the Tamiya kit. Indeed, it is seldom possible to go wrong with Tamiya WWII kits.

He looked a little slow. Did he have an incipient left wing stall just before touching down?

Thanks for the welcome and the links. I'm building "Black <1" of JG4, flown by Obslt. Gerhard Michalski, EagleCals EC#110.

Wow, what a load of goodies you've got for your "Dora." Most interesting. As it happens, I started the same kit just last week. I'm not nearly as ambitious as you, however! The only AM parts I'm using are Quickboost exhausts and Eagle decals. That spinner and prop set looks superb, though...
