1/144th german ww-ii ski plane
I built this model right out of the box back in October, 2015. My photo’s tells me that I had no building problems and there was next to no flashing on the parts of this Revell kit. The kit’s clear windows fit was next to perfect including the cockpit. I forgot to take a close up photo of the cockpit before I closed up the model. The black and white, plus the light blue paints were Tamiya. I used the kit decals. The snow base is from some hobby-shop and I don’t remember who’s brand it was, but it looked like real snow for this model.

Aren’t the new tool 1/144 Revells amazing?

Superb build, Rodney.
Hard to believe this is just 1/144.
The scheme is perfect.

Hi Spiros & John:
That was a real easy model to build, and I ‘m glad that I had some more model snow to use. The model has been in one of my 90+ storage boxes since we moved from Colorado to “SMOG’SVILLE, USA. (Irvine, California)”. Before all the fire smoke came around the air here looked clean……….SURPRISE !!!!!!!!!………. AFTER A FEW WEEK’s HERE………I noticed that there seemed to be a light coat of black dust on the top of my white plastic boxes, (model cases). I wiped off a 3″ long section, then in less than a week, that clean area was covered again with that damn black dust.
Wit a bit of investigation, that black dust come’s from auto/truck exhaust pipes and we live within 1/2 mile of an interstate freeway. My lung’s must be black inside and we are 3/4 mile away from the famous “John Wayne International Airport.”
I should be dead by now, but I’m going to post another model or two before I go!!!
