I decided to pick this one out of my stash to give me something small to do. Plus I haven't built a WW2 German plane before so is a first. The Kit is a few yrs old now but quality is good. Here are the start pics for you Including my new Airbrush . The cockpit looks dark but it isn't.

Small can be good, so I`ll be looking in.  Will also be interested in a report on how the new airbrush stacks up. Well done. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

 Its a nice kit  I have the Royal Quad box set of the same kit with the upgrades included- https://forum.model-spac...spx?g=posts&t=17592
The build should be no probs but it will need a careful paint job at this scale so good luck with your new airbrush. One thing I would recommend for your new airbrush is to polish the needle, or you can use it as supplied then polish it to see the difference it will make and you will see the difference I garantee it. Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

I thought at £200 for an airbrush it should be polished. How do I polish it so I don't ruin it. A new needle on this one is so expensive.

Use the finest micromesh you have just draw the needle backwards through a piece folded in half. As you draw the needle backwards turn it slowly . do this around half a douzen times or so. Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hi guys, just a quick update. I've glued the cockpit and firewall to the fuselage and glued them together. Chris magpie1832 attached the following image(s): On the bench 1/350 Revell Tirpitz Platinum Edition (Pontos PE and Wooden deck) plus extra Eduard PE set and extra MK1 door sets.
