........Now I have a question : if you were going to do it all over, would you just put the old MPM kit aside and buy a Great Wall kit?

If I had it to do again, having the MPM kit waiting on the shelf I think I would build it again. From everything, I have heard about the Great Wall kit it is very nice, but it sounds like it has many features I would not use. I did not want to open anything up this one, instead concentrating on the winter camo. With a few wires added to the cockpit it had enough detail seen through the canopy, and with some work it went together OK and looked good when all together.
 
Thanks guys! I'm really pleased with the way this one is turning out. Wayne, I should make it by Wednesday, I'm almost there now. I hope to put the last bits on today if I can sneak in the time.
 
Glenn you have every right to be pleased with it ,the effort that went into this truly paid out ,what a great looking build!!! The white wash effect is very convincing and well executed without being overdone ,nicely done Sir!!!
 
Hello.
One thing I love about modelling is that it helps provide a window into the past. Modelling can bring colour and definition to what have only been b&w photographs from a time long gone. I distinctly felt a sense of the past when viewing the final shots of this model.
The thread up until the final shots resembled a novella. When I saw the model draped in foil and read that Glenn had forgotten to prespray yellow, it was thrilling.

I learned a great deal reading this thread. I am grateful that an answer to a post of mine led me here. Stunning model. Great work. And a shout out to Crimea River's winter camo on the 110.
