Hello,

The subject will be a well known aircraft: "white 01" flown by Vitaly I. Popkov from 5Gv.IAP during summer/falls 1944.

Hello,
Some problems with my PC these days: black screen symptom => motherboard probably dead
I use an "old" laptop waiting for a new PC, a reconditioned workstation
But I started this build; here is the beginning: cockpit structure assembled and painted with A14, engine assembled and painted too.

Next step: weathering of the cockpit

Good to see you get at it Steph. Sucks about to PC

Looking good Steph, and I hope you get your computer stuff sorted OK.

Just waiting for the day mine goes as well but it's been very good to me. Looks good Steph.

Ooooo, I like those markings! I have one Zvezda kit in the stash, their 109F. my brief rein box look over left me fairly impressed. I am going to enjoy watching this build.

Hello,
Amost ready to close the fuselage, I added some parts of an old Eduard photo-etched set (originally for the Hobbycraft kit )
