Me too. It's looking great!

 I'm in the middle of reading an excellent book titled Thunder Gods about the Ohka program and pilots in Japan. This build sort of fits into that reading assignment, though I realize the Luftwaffe pilots were supposed to have the option of jumping out of the Fi-103 from what I've been told.

With engine above their heads I hardly believe that they could be able to do that. Anyway kit is somehow completed, I did not find any image to complete bomb head color and I am a little low of concentration to paint metal panel under cockpit. Thanks to Nico for this beautiful kit  :-razz

Not evident to jump due to the engine position, but it was effectively a possibility given to the pilot to jump just before the explosion of the Reichenberg. The pilot have to wait until the engine shut off (out of fuel) and then there were less risks...

Congratulations for the build, mate!

Yes, that is essentially what I remember reading about the procedure.

Nicely done, No.1!

I must learn how to use them.So far I tried gunze and MM.I must have done something wrong but they did not flow easy trough the AB.I have 0.2mm veda 180 airbrush so I think there must be something that I don't do like it should be done.I thinned them with alcohol but with no succes.

I'm still learning acrylics also. I have had the same problems with the airbrush flow on both the Badger and Paasche brushes. When I get the paint thin enough to spray evenly it is too thin for coverage. Practice makes perfect, I suppose!

Add just 25% of alcohol and they will work well.
