My subject is 5D+CK, 2./(H)31 Eastern Front, Rostov-na-Donu January 1943 for which I have absolutely no history and just a couple of possible pictures of the aircraft.

As already said, details on this particular aircraft are very scarce, but here is what I have including kit additions.
















I've also some very good internal detail, so with all this glass, the pit should be fun and visible.
 
Came up dry on pics for you Vic.

Thanks anyway Andy.

With all here. I've got a few books on the 189. Five days from home, so if no ones posted any info, I'll start looking . Ohhhhhh, so many clear panels.

I've a couple of books George, Squadron Signal and one in Polish or Czech, I'm not sure which, the latter has brilliant detail which coupled with some sketches out of an old Scale Aviation Modeller, is all I think I'll need. I'm just curious if there is anything on the history of this particular bird.

As for the build, thought I'd get the canopy bits masked and out of the way. It's been a long day.
