Hi all,
This original 1971 boxing of the 141 came in a care package from a forumite early last year. Everything was there aside from the tail strut, decals (a Revell Stuka sheet was in there) and instructions, Scalemates to the rescue for the latter!
Just a bit of fun and it was - no filling, no sanding, the trickiest part was going through my decal spares.
And in case you're wondering about the codes: I did a stint as a radio announcer when I was in my teens and I love Burger King ;D

And another astounding build from DJ Burger King 8) :smiley: ;)

Asymmetrical strangeness looking its very best. :smiley: Fine paint job, especially on those many canopy lines. :smiley:
-
Nice job on such an ancient kit! It's from the heyday of the Airfix mad riveter.
-
Nice work.
-
Bam ! Done !
The way kits used to be built and well done at that

Thank you all for your kind words! You've made me smile.
Fine paint job, especially on those many canopy lines. :smiley:
Thin brush and prayers for a steady hand to whichever god will listen ;D

"To govern the canopy-painting hand and the marking of kits, and to separate wiggly lines from those which are straight; and the modelling deities saw that it was good." ;D

...Try spraying clear semi-gloss next time, looks like its been a rainstorm. Built the bugger c.1986-7, uneven greenhouse & nose fits; early 1970s Airfix still engineering 1/72nd molds ala 1950-60s, clunky & rivet-bound though nowhere near bad as FROG's. Japanese already ahead of West tooling really good 1/72 models by 1971, what I'd give to have Hasegawa's Macchi C.202 instead of SUPERMODEL's 1973 kit by 1978 when I'd resumed scale model building.
