astouding lenght of time for a frontline fighter. Die Flugzeuge der Luftwaffe........

Another real GOOD ONE!

One have to like the glossy clear coat, but that's a matter of taste.

Otherwise PERFECT JOB!

I wonder, if you ever will do (or have done) a Dinky MRCA Tornado. You know, why I say that... it is a rather poor cast....

thought you might like it Christian. its not difficult to produce a semi gloss finish, but you're correct, i mostly prefer full gloss. although all my 109's for example are semi gloss.

indeed shame about the MRCA casting, but i've restored a number of them over the years. the castings are cheap to buy and in recent years they've been sporting some interesting 'fly out' liveries, which i hope to reproduce. will post some,
