Well done. Great blitz and remarkable handling of the building issues. Really looks great.

Impressive finished model. Certainly doesn't look Blitzed, which is the sign of a good Blitz! Well done.
So, when are you cracking out the Flanker?

Very nice. It looks like a very much more expensive kit than it is.

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

Very Very nice; and an excellent finish given Blitz circumstances!

That canopy is exceptionally clear; did you dip it at all?
Best wishes

Thanks, Ian.
:roll: :roll: Can't I just enjoy this one for a little while longer? :razz: :razz: Actually, maybe during the August Blitz, because I don't see myself getting the time to put in another Blitz this week.

Thanks. Fred! I couldn't agree more. If I were to just judge a book by the cover, the box art and the "E-Z Snapz Snap Together Model" logo on the front of the box make it look pretty lame. My local LHS had it for just about $10, but our local model club members get a discount, so I was able to pick it up for single-digits. It builds into a decent representation of the Focke Wolf.

Thanks, Iggie. I did dip it in some Future, but I'm not sure it was needed, the canopy is crystal clear straight out of the box. In fact, I was worried that I'd smudge it up dipping it and considered leaving it as is.

It really was an enjoyable Blitz, with a nice kit to build. With 2 completed this GB, I think I'll call it quits until the next time. Thanks.
