Here’s
my first attempt at a German aircraft. I was always intrigued at the camouflage
schemes of the Luftwaffe and was quite happy at the outcome. The kit went
together well with only a few fit problems, nothing a little filler didn’t
fix. The kit looked a bit sparse so I added a Grand Phoenix Interior and some
parts from the Eduard detail kit. Decals came from Aero Master and were
flawless. Standard RLM colours from the Model Master Acrylic line were used
throughout. All weathering was done with acrylic washes and chalk pastels for
the cannons and ejector chutes. The engine was detailed using stretched sprue
and wire…too bad most of it can not be seen after assembly!

Although
this is an older kit it was still a pleasure to build. The available references
on this plane give you many choices to pick a model scheme. A very nice start to
my Luftwaffe collection!
