Which mescherschmits? I presume the Junkers will be Stukas Ju 87 ...

 

THe carrier looks quite used, so congrats on that. Very realistic, even for a ship which in reality has never sailed.

WOW Greg what a great peace of work! Sorry for being late for the fun but better late then missing your build.

I read all seven plus pages and thoroughly enjoyed them all.  I'll try to keep up to the launching.

 

Cheers,

Piet, The Flying Dutchman.

If you dont get asked to display this very fine work of art in a museum (German Museum Possibly)  then there is something very wrong in the world.

I thought I’d add a little bit of extra detailE6A0D872-CB15-4C71-8A2E-C5B1EF823E61.thumb.jpeg.290f776a4762b230db46d5e05f62b394.jpeg

it took about 3 days, I wanted to perhaps do a seaplane that would act as a recovery or guard plane like they have helicopters, but the only one I really liked is about $100USD for a 1/350 plane that is not with it, so a fast patrol boat it is.
