No reaction so far, but the pics are made so why not to show them...

That's a good one, I especially like the scheme. It's a bit off the usual.
Sadly the decals, mainly the Balkenkreuze, are printed out of register and show thin white lines where they shouldn't.
But that's bad luck, not more. Nice picture with the castle in the background, I like that a lot!

BEAUTIFUL

Lovely build straight from its box. Like Torben I am in sympathy about using the original decals. That would take away from the integrity of a true "Out of box" build, though, so your goal must be respected. I believe you leveled up a bit with each kit!

That looks real good! Is that a G or a F? In any case, you took an old kit, that many snooty modelers nowadays look down their noses at, and you made it shine! The decals being out of register is no strike on you.

Thank you all for your response.
Stikpusher, I assume it is an F.

I think you made the most out of that old kit. The finish/paint work is very nice. :beau:
