                        After exactly 4 months of building my Greif is ready. What a wonderful kit this is! I would like to recommend it very much. 

                        The bomb trolley is built from scratch. Here are the pics. In the meantime I'm working on a diorama for this beauty, but that will take some weeks more.

                        Thank you for looking and for your encouraging comments.

                        Cheers,

                        Jan

                        Yes, I'm impressed too. Very nice.

                        How'd you do the camo? That's quite a pattern.

                        Your camoflauge technique is exceptional, that's not to say that your build of the aircraft and bomb rack is so as well!  Just fantastic overall.
