Best Ground Attack Bird of WW2 IMHO!

Hi Lee
This is looking far better than it should. You're doing a great job and the new decals will bring it to life.

Have fun with the decals :smiling3: .

Rick. Thanks for the stopping by. They where one of the best in Europe in my book. It wasn’t no Spit. or Mustang but it was a great work horse. Still one of my favorite aircraft

Jim. Thanks for the complement I know these are old but still a lot of fun to build there’s so much hidden beautify in these old kits that modelers overlook. It’s a 51yr old kit and the detail is far a head of its time. I’m glad you think it’s worth building you are among the few anymore.

SWR. I’m going to give it a shot when I’m well rested so I can have lots of patience

Looking very good. Built one back in the day in camo. One of my favs. PaulE

[Lee Drennen]

Thank you Mr. PaulE I thought about doing another one like the box art camo. Thanks for stopping by

lee that's looking good why did you leave it so long?

[Lee Drennen]

Paul. I just had other projects going on and another reason I was afraid of the rivet counters attacking but I don’t care about it and more

That and the Hs-129

Looking good Lee. I'd love to do a NMF on either a P-47 or P-51. It's something i've not really done before.

Left alone, no question they packed a hard punch, but the Jug could defend itself way better than either of the aforementioned, and w/eight 50cals, eight rockets & a couple 500 pounders it had a punch as well. PaulE

[Lee Drennen]

Alan. Go for it! Glad you stopped by and took a peek.

Paul. You’re so right my friend but she just couldn’t move like the spit and mustang. I was unloading at a Customer one time and a guy was giving us flybys with his Mustang that thing was so fast

[AlanG]

Alan. Go for it! Glad you stopped by and took a peak.

Need a kit first lol

[Lee Drennen]
