OT Rides Again! ***Finished***

[MerlinJones]

I didn't!

[flakmonkey]

I did. What has been seen cannot be unseen.

[Old_Tonto]

Back in the game.

Un-masked and not too shabby, just a little touch up required at he cockpit.



I am celebrating with a Bakewell tart. Need some coffee too.

[Ian]

Looking sharp, OT.

[splash]

looking at the red spot on the bakewell, this would make a good Red spotted What if.

[Old_Tonto]

It's all coming together now.

I applied the white discs and the red didn't show through.



I let them dry and applied the Swaztikas.



Then it was time to fit Otto into the cockpit. It was a very tight squeze - I had to remove his legs & bottom.

Once he was in I could fit the canopy.



This is where I am at now & I will leave the decals to settle down with some MicroSol before I give the whole thing a coat of clear to seal it all in.

My research indicated that the P.111 should have 4x 30mm Cannons but only 2 are provided by the kit. I will improvise a couple more for the wing roots.

Then a little weathering and she is done.

[Old_Tonto]

I am calling this one done. (just as well - down to the last Bakewell tart & out of tea bags!)



An altogether enjoyable build of a sleek looking plane. I will take some better pictures tomorrow in daylight & get them in the gallery.

[Dirkpitt289]

Very cool. Well done

[MerlinJones]

Good completion and eye-catching scheme.

You are 'back in the game'!

Regards,
Bruce

[Gregers]

Cracking build and finish. Nice one mate.

All the best.

The red and white look great together. Added to the rich crumbly pastry it's a real treat. Model also good.

[TimJ]

Great build and colour scheme OT.

[MerlinJones]

How many of us thought "Great scheme" and then realised what we were talking about, before we posted to that effect?

[Ian]

As much as I like that (and I most certainly do!) I was thinking if it might look better without the cannons and with a civil registration on the port wing instead of the balkenkreuz?
But putting my opinions aside, you've done a cracking job on that and should be well chuffed! Now go and buy some more tarts as a reward.

[jssel]

Nice work. Very imaginative.
