Like I said in your detailed WIP: Great effort on a not so easy to tackle kit. Well done!

Pics don't do it justice. A bit on the dark side and the background's distracting. I use a bright grey cardboard for my shootings, dirt cheap and does the trick.

Or a flat chair and nature. Natural light: no costs. Trees or another background that fits: no costs. The result: priceless. ;)

Well done build nevertheless.

I can tell it's a fantastic build from the photos friend. German a/c are an endless subject, so many cool schemes and planes. Good job.
