Nice job there Michael. It's a brave man who uses enamel paints on a Blitzbau so well done for going with the kit paints!

My corsair blitz I used enamels but not this one. (I might have misread your post thought you wrote that i DID use enamels. I used airfix gift kit paint
acrylics next time i will use primer and less paint and more coats and better brushes....

Thanks, i would not say "brilliant" just picked up a few things other people posts ...splash wrote:Brilliant work well done.
and happen to be a little familiar with kit and type of kit like this ...and good candidate only two sprues ...fitting the cockpit and canopy was hardest
for me due to mistakes and lack of experience and knowledge
