That's an impressive build and finish there Ajay. So this is what keeps you away from WoWs.

All the models I ever built and painted in my youth had that factory fresh look,it never occurred to me to weather them or give them a used look. The only time they ever had battle scars was when I hung them with string from my gran's washing line and shot them with grandad's pellet gun smile

Another superlative piece of work Ajay.

Yep, another museum quality build. You do have the talent Ajay.

Thanks all. From what i've read about it, if she wasn't leaking she was empty! It kind of makes one wonder if they ever solved the issues or just kept on topping them up until they mothballed or sold off the fleet.

Kids eh lol. We burned a few. I remember running around the back yard with a hurri with its wing on fire trailing that toxic looking stringy black smoke.

Another magnificent job. :cheers

Built some solid balsa Spits, 190s, 109s as a kid. About 6" ws.: Now I will have to go thru the old trunk as I think I still might have a 190.


There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.
