Looking very nice Tim!
Are you gonna "cheat" the supercharger air intake in the same manner as the Mustang scoop lovers?
Or is it going to be scale, drag be damned?
I think I may have to sell one of my kids to get one of these from you.

Okay, now I'm getting excited!
Thanks for sharing this. I've enjoyed watching it take shape . . . and what a beautiful shape she has become. Nice work, Tim!

Got my pilot today. no one makes a German pilot in the scale I need but found one from Hanger 9 that I could use. ( they don't even have the good sponge one any more.) Ok I cut off about 1" of the bottom and painted with some german flight suit details, should look decent in the pit.

Time for some more up dates, I've been really busy but have had time to build as well.
1) layed down the base coats of color
2) masked and have drawnon the makings
3) cut out using an exacto blade
4) panited all marking there respective colors
5) came back and finished the wing leading edge detail
6) started drawing on panel lines with a fine line sharpe using a plactic model for my guide
7) plane assembled to give you an idea of how its turning out should have every thing instaled this weekend aqnd hope to test fly in the next few weeks.

Looks really nice. What did you use for your tailwheel setup. Im not sure if I am content with my choice and would like to get a closeup of yours and know what you went with.
