I'm not sure I need anything else...got PE belts, the SAC gear set, and I think a set of canopy masks? That's pretty much the only the only "required" item. Why, you want to see a MONSTER jug get built to offset the braille jug? Hahahhahaha

Hahahhahaha I could say something like "the only thing better than a small Jug is a big one," so I won't be cliche here...but I think I speak for everyone when I say we want to see your big Jug

Hmmmm. I need to address a couple more shelf queens first (but those are all pretty close)...and bang out at least one build for the Op Barbarossa GB. That Will get me to spring show season. Open docket after that! Will give me time to make sure the aftermarket is all there.

It's a date Seriously though, I know that's a big build. Would love to see it of course, but do it on your schedule I mean after all, it'd probably take you a whole week.

And the update: The Tiger Head decals went down like butter. So well, that they adhere almost instantly - make sure you're in the right position before you lay them down! Not a lot of chance to rearrange once they hit the Micro Sol.

It's actually waaaaay past that last pic - but at this point you're just going to get the finished product. No time for interim shots before the end of the month!

Great finish Dupes. I got so distracted I miss the entire build. Maybe the only good thing about all that snow is the bench time you had. Great choice of markings.

Thanks Rick! Yeah, the Turkish schemes are pretty neat...want to do a Spitfire and FW-190 as well. Maybe the only good thing about all that snow is the bench time you had. Totally agree!

Even better than I was hoping for. It doesn't look rushed at all either. I really like the fading effect too. I think it came together well.

Jimmy - I enhanced it the contrast a smidge in the top pic...think it looks better there or in the other shots?
