Looks great Pablo, and the base really sets it off. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! Good job, looks better than my version not even counting the cool setting. Kinda timely too. I took my 10 year-old grandson to a museum last week and we touched one and when we came home I showed him my version and we discussed the dark history of the craft. All part of modeling and educating the young.

Anyway, extra nice display on your part, I'll show him your rendition next time he comes over!

Outstanding! That base is a work of art in itself.

A really excellent model, Pablo. The V-1 finish and the base make for a fine display, completely realistic. The post and photos were interesting, thanks very much.

Hi to all, so long!

I'm back with this easy kit, few parts, not many colors, no cockpit, no landing gear... The building went very easy due the great fit. I only replaced the odometer propeller in the nose which I broke with metalic foil, added a longitudinal reinforcment and a pitot tube whith a hipodermic needle. The trolley was modified with some structural beams, handles and a pushing bar al both sides.

I sprayed the body in Gunze's RLM 71 (Mr color 17) and Tamiya's RLM 65 (XF-23), decals were a breeze to apply with micro set and sol, finally I applied a coat of Ammo MiG's matt varnish for sealing the assembly.

I made the gorund with a cheap frame, some plaster painted with artistic acrylics and railroad modeling grass.

This is the final result, I hope you like.
