It's a beauty ! Well done.

Nice job ! Engines look awesome.

Very nice, well done !

The fixed cowling is now un-fixed. The engine is also installed. Not a perfect fit but a bit of tweaking got it to sit straight without binding up with the cowling. I had to shorten the front of the engine for it to fit. There's a few gaps that will need a bit of a mud job, otherwise going good.

This afternoon I'll be un-fixing the cowl or at least trying to. As far as the paint here's what I have so far. Stabilizers are the green RLM81/82, Fuselage is the brown RLM 81/82 . Not to sure if I'm happy with it. I may redo the mottling. Never heard of Art Model but this is their box art.

I can see now the cooler sits further back and it looks like the opening is a kind of venturi effect. As for the paint. Some indicate the fuselage was a brown and green and the wings are light and dark green. I have 2 RLM 81s One is brown, the other green. My RLM 83 is blue ?

Well I guess I can ad some strips to look like it did before I "fixed" it ! Are those 4 spoke looking things a brace for the cowling sort of like a Do17 ?

Onward, problems encountered. In the kit it provides for a headrest and armour along with a gimickey slide to enable the cockpit canopy to open and close. They don't fit Fortunately I had another canopy so I could bodge it after messing up the original. I cut the elevators off and posed them...

Nice, looks like a great kit too !

Very nice !

Great choice ! My 1:72 version the colour call outs are a bit lame. it looks like RLM 81/82 over the fuselage and RLM75/82 over the wings. Am I reading that right ?

Thanks everyone, another night fighter to my collection !

Nice one !

Beauty. I'm dealing with pain on 1:48 harnesses at the moment, I really can't imagine what its like with 1:72 Haha, believe me ! Getting harder and harder !
