No, I can't hold a candle to Wayne's stuff, especially when it gets to my weakest part - painting. But thanks for the compliment anyway Brooks. Nice of you to say.

Damn Engineers!always figuring out a way to use a tool the for what it was not intended for Looking good Sir

 

[A4K]

Great work Andy!

 

[meatloaf109]

Great trick with the socket for the wheel wells!

 

[rochie]

nice work Andy

 

[Crimea_River]

Thanks guys.

 

[T Bolt]

Excellent work Andy, the wheel well trick was brilliant!

 

[Airframes]

Some nice work there Andy, and good lateral thinking using that socket. I've also noticed the slightly heavy, sharp ribs on this kits' control surfaces but, as you've discovered, they're easily rectified.

 

[Gnomey]

Looking good Andy!

 

[Rogi]

Very precise cool

 

[brucejscott]

Very nice work Andy. Sweet!

 

[Crimea_River]

Thanks all. The other thing about ICM kits is their relatively soft plastic. Nice to work with (makes for easy and quick sanding) but easily damaged too.

 

[Wurger]

Really nice work so far Andy.

 

[Wayne Little]

I can't take any credit for this, Aaron...ALL Andy's work, and a great job too!

 

[Crimea_River]

Thanks Wojtek, Wayne, means a lot to me.

As I always like to learn something, I have a question: I've often heard about peculiarities of paint work by certain factories. This plane, WNr 13144, would have been produced in early '42 at Wiener Neustädter Flugzeugwerke. Would there be a factory-distinguishing feature of the camouflage?

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Got to give it to you Andy, you have lessons and useful tricks coming out all the time teaching us all to open our minds to ways and means.

A joy to see.

 

[Crimea_River]

Thanks Vic. It helps to have lots of "stuff" at hand too!

 

[woody]

Nice work Andy.

I'm sure there probably is Andy, WNF, Mtt and Erla can be distinguished on latter 109G's by their camo on wings and fuselages....haven't thought much about F's will have to look further.

Thanks Wayne. Appreciate that.
