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

Nicely done Nigel and that is an interesting scheme.

Up close it's a bit of a shocker. I'm giving it 5 out of 10 :)

Harsh self-judging........1/72 rarely responds well to close up photography in my experience.

Looks a real treat and your yellow is eye-poppingly bright!

The camera can be such a cold and emotionless judge of our efforts Nigel! I like what you've done with it and a lot of those wartime Luftwaffe schemes are tough to replicate, especially on such a small airframe as the '109's is in 1/72nd.

Thanks Iggie, Shaun, but it was more of the fingerprints and fine fluff in some of the paint. Dropping it on the carpet didn't help :lol:
