Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
I wanted to build an earlier version of the P2V Neptune and selected the 20mm cannon armed P2V-5 as my subject. The Hasegawa 1/72nd P2V-7 kit was the starting point and I used the fine Falcon P2V-5 vacuform conversion set for the major [...]
At the end of 1943, Obstlt. Walter Oesau introduced a new emblem for JG1- a red winged ‘1’ in a white diamond, which was enclosed in a red circle. My model represents a speculative interpretation of the Gruppe Kommodeurs machine from [...]

Another oob build. This is said to be more accurate than the Tamiya version but not as easy going as the Tamiya. Still it is not difficult to build, and would recommended it.
