my first build for many years, this is a ‘fantasy’ paint job, I’m sure that no Bf109E ever looked quite like this…

Looks great, especially the red tail

Excellent work. That red tail certainly makes it stand out. Well done

What a stunning result for a number of firsts! I really like the red tail, very reminiscent of the Indiana Jones films....that takes me back.

How did you get such perfect circles?

Brilliant work! I may get inspired to do my own Indiana Jones flavored paint job now! I haven't seen this movie in decades and have been itching to see it lately. Now you come up with this, thanks. I need to buy it now.

Remember this aircraft? I never knew what it was until I finally remembered it and looked it up today. Just a fanciful Hollywood dream machine. I can't seem to find the kit anywhere though. It was an all resin kit and seems to have disappeared.

that's a fine bit of work, and the things you learned will just multiply on the next one!
