Ty for posting this wonderful build.

i usually work in 1/48 but you've inspired me to try a 1/72 scale to learn the subtlies of weathering, because yours is just right . Not too much or too little. In that scale a little goes a long way I bet.

I'm finally retired. Now time I got, money I don't.

I've said it before but it's worth repeating. I just can't hardly believe how good you 1/72 guys are at making these little kits look so darn good. Wowzers that's nice. Bow Down

Really nice build, a bit odd about that canopy. I have only known that due to the glue.

Sir, that is an absolutely amazing build, I'm blown away, and such detail in that scale.

Excellent work on those stripes. I'd love to do a D-Day aircraft, but I am still scared by the stripes. You've nailed it here, especially on something so small!

Wow! Looks great! Great job with the paint Yes And all in 1/72. Working on a 1/72 spit myself, hope it turns out half as nice. Keep up the great work!
