Gorgeous. Nicely done.

The RCAF scheme in my opinion is the classiest military paint scheme ever put on the bug smasher.

Very nice!

What kind of meds did they put you on after you finished flogging your way through that so-called "kit?" I think Battle Axe is a great name for the company..from what I've seen that's the primary tool you need to build their kits.

Trust me Steve: for Darius, who likes a challenge, that kit was almost a walk in the park... :drink3:

I've got one as well, every now and then I take it out of the drawer, look at it and put it back very quickly. In a moment of madness I nearly brought another one the other day... I am amazed that no manufactuer has made a decent (ie easy!) kit of such a wonderful aeroplane in 1/48 thus far.
