My final project for 2011.
The model is simple and which gives you problem free construction.
Weight in the nose is important and every free space was used.

I painted it with (84) with Color Gunze RLM 74/82 and even mixed RLM 76A.  The shades are brushed.

Weapons are made of from tubes and the pitot tube was done using a needle.  Bremmsen gefertig were made from  brass wire, such as radar antennas.  The "clothes line" was made using stretch sprue made from a Q-Tip.

The decals are from my collection of remnants.

1946 .... it would be so much feasible, the engineers had many ideas ;-)

I wish you all a successful and eventful 2012.
(We hope that Tamiya / Eduard / Hobby Boss and all the manufacturers continue to fill our bench;-))
