Thanks Wouter mate , High praise indeed ! I'm quite proud of her at the moment

Thanks MC, she's nearly there now, I'm pushing to get it done in time for MOM but the weather is so cold the oil based pin washes are taking an age to dry

[wouter]

no sweat mate, it's better to take some time, often that's the greatest stuff! I assume this won't be your last crashed bird ey? ^^

Cheers

Steve- Same here... I can only see one pic show beautiful job on the 109. Photobucket has been acting up for me as I can not see at all pictures I uploaded.

Can't wait to see more...

[robbo]

Looks flipping good from here mate but can't see them all either

[Deleted]

Amazing weathering and detail.

[TRM]

Outstanding finish to this Steve! The rust, the overgrowth...the whole damn thing! Such a great concept too! Thanks for sharing the build!!

[Deleted]

DP , yeah sorry, I don't know what the issue was but it seems to have sorted itself out now, thanks for the kind words and stopping in

Robbo, thanks for the support mate, all photos are up now so I hope you like the rest

Mr T , It was a really enjoyable build, in truth I keep seeing a bit more I could do and maybe I will . Thanks for your encouragement along the way

[Deleted]

Sorry Dave.. Missed your post there ! Thanks for the positive comments my friend.

Welcome to MSC too!

[spud]

Wow thats outstanding Steve

[Deleted]

Thanks Spud, glad you like her

[Paul P.]

Steve love it, the whole thing is awesome, you must be very pleased with it

Paul

[Deleted]

Mr M......Two words.....LOVE IT!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
(btw....the word sore....should be soar!!! )

[Deleted]

Paul, Thanks for dropping in with such high praise . Yep, I quite like her now.
I think it's turned out better as a wreck than it would have as Airfix intended. There are just too many errors and simplifications for it to look 'right'

CB , Thanks for your support all along matey, really appreciate it

As for the word, you know it NEVER looked right to me but seeing as I copied it I thought " what do I know " ;D ;D. Should have known better . 'ave a Korma ( yep I meant that one )

[`Boots`]

Well i gotta say Steve.....................that is bloody fantastic fella , you`ve nailed that baby to the wall for sure................the finish you have got is absolutely superb sir.............. ;D ;D 10/10

[Deleted]

Thanks Boots, your support thought the build has been top notch buddy

On to the the FW189 review, then it's out with my Taxi, yours is inspiring mate

[406 Silverado]

Fantastic work Steve. This is one of the best wrecked planes I have ever seen. PM sent.

[Deleted]

Hiya Boss! Wow high praise indeed !
Thanks for the encouragement along the way

On any other site this would have been dumped long ago, but here you can do what you want and have a lot of fun along the way

[406 Silverado]

That's what it's all about Steve.

[Deleted]

Okay Guys, here's the final pics of the build, re-took a few of them as the background was distracting (IMHO anyway

thanks to all who posted and supported me along the way
Off to build the review FW189 now

[wouter]

Hiya Steve, some great endshots bro! Really love this stuff, photos make me drool ;D

I think you nailed the wrecked airlplane look without exaguration, really superbly finished mate! Lookin' forward to next wingy ^^

Cheers

[Deleted]

Thanks for the kind words Wouter buddy

See you in MoM matey... Your Merk IV will give me a run to the line, it's a super build!

[deafpanzer]

Stunning work! Like everything about your build especially the moss build up on the plane.

[modelfreak72]

Beautiful work Steve! That is a show stopper I my book!

A 189 you say when do we get to see her?
