And ...done!

The canopy was horrible, but I've done what I can with it.
In this scale though, you can't really tell all that much, until you see close up photos (cameras can be really cruel when it comes to anything this small in 144th)

The watch BTW, is a cheap replica of the Laco/IWC/Wempe/Stowa/Lange 'Nav-B' (a.k.a. 'B-Uhr' or 'Boebachtungsuhren') that was issued to Luftwaffe Navigators and Observers during WW2

The Ju-52 is part of the 'Giant Warplanes' partworks collection.

Cover the flash with one or more layers of facial tissue. It works for me. :beer:
Thanks Dai
I'll try that next time I take pics of light plastic


BTW - In the Lancaster GB that's about to start, I'm finally getting round to converting that Dambuster that we swapped parts/decals for.... (hard to believe that was 3 yrs ago :shock: )

That looks like a pretty good finish Carlos for that tiny scale!
Best wishes

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing
