thanks. was a fun time making it ugly and trying various weathering...sometimes I get in trouble for over doing it ...lol... the real plane was over a full year old, which was a long time to be a butcherbird in WWII. Most them only lasted a month if that, ...so I heard. It was found in a repair flight area of Berlin, and had many repair parts, like new cowl etc. And since it was 1945, end of war area, spare parts were just left in primer colors usually...no time to paint! Sitting around outdoor in bad weather and doing missions for a full year will make it really ugly and beat. No time for prettiness anymore.

she's a bit heavy at 43 pounds , but flys great and feels like a warbird. ...no video, never seem to get that done unless I luck out and someone does it for me.
