Looking good Jim, nice bit of paintwork. I don't think the potential undersize with the areas for the crosses will particularly spoil anything and if you hadn't pointed it out I certainly would have been none the wiser!

Decals a smorgasbord from the spares, even used the Lindberg Me-410 England Blitz symbol for the nose.

Looks very good - I'd be more than happy with that bit of guesstimating if was my build.

I really enjoyed the build, and quite like the look of the plane.

So thanks again Brew's for these two, they were a ball.

A brilliant effort in getting all those ill fitting parts to blend seamlessly!

A great build, nicely finished and posed. Personally I like the look of the German Mossie.

That is a mighty fine finish there Jim, the photography really sets it off too :grin: especially that last shot. As usual I've learnt from watching your great builds, looking forward to the next one!
