Avus, I have forgotten but what manufacter is that kit?.

Steve, it's a Hasegawa kit and I added Eduard's photoetch, mainly in the "office" so you can't see it anymore, but I have picture to prove it!

Very nice kit, I built mine a year ago and I think it is a Monogram. I will post a photo of it this weekend.

Steve

Hey Avus, here is my copy of the Hs129. I believe it is a Monogram kit and I built it a few years ago. Hope you enjoy.

Steve

Looks good!
It's a different version of the Hs192. I got the B2 and yours is either the B1 or the B3 (I don't remember) beeing the main difference the "belly-gun".

Nice work! 

Steve,

Beuatiful build, my friend!  I have to say, whenever I see that particular a/c, I have to wonder what kind of beating the sirframe took when they opened up with that monster of a cannon.  I'll bet it shoved the a/c backwards from recoil!

Ok finally done. Here is the final installment of my second kit for last years SSGB.

Kit went together ok. Decals were not good though.

I used decals from the stash and the markings are fictional.

Cockpit is spartan. I really had to fight off the AMS to build it OOB.

Paint is MM enamels, flat is Polyscale.

After looking at this one next to a P-47 I realized just how big this airplane was. A real beast.

A real beast of a plane and a beast of a kit. I don't know just how much AM stuff is out there for this kit but there is plenty of room for it.

Thanks, Steve for the kit! Looks like I may be the first to complete a SSGB kit and the last also! Or at least close to it.

Looks great hk!

Just in time for this years SSGB! LOL 

One last look at the C-47 on it's base with the figures added. Thanks GulfstremV for the kit, it was a fun build.

Had a great time with this GB and looking forward to building with you guy's in the 08 version.

Steve

I am alomost done, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.  I had a few day over the holiday and had a chance to give several hours to the the Corsair I received as my secret santa gift.  I was able to do a little weathering thanks to the techniques I learned from Swannys video.  I also masked my canopy and painted my bird.  Everything looks good, except that I have some sticky residue from the tape and some acrylic blue on the canopy.  Can anyone tell me the best way to clean that up without having to start over on the canopy?  Thanks in advance for the help.
