We're definitely on the same wavelength! Just like you, it's the funky little mechanical bits that really grab me. In fact if there is any one single impression that I took away from the hours and hours I spend hanging out at the RAF Hendon museum is was that the real aircraft have so much more depth of details than our poor models. The surfaces were all so complex -- and in some curiously way irregular and even chaotic. And in fact this has actually inspired me to be a little sloppier with my models. I think we strive so hard to have perfect craftsmanship that we end up with an overly slick product. I no longer worry about things like perfectly straight seams on my coverings or minor asymmetry in parts. And I'll definitely be hand-painting all my models from now on.

So what's next on your Pfalz?
