The 109s are a different story entirely. The rake of the gear may be a little straight but the rest of it is acceptable. Yellow 6 is a fine model as are a few of the others.

Must be pretty bad if it is heading for the bin.

Normally, I would repaint the plane, using a legit F-8 camouflage scheme which allows me to retain the bomb load, racks, etc. However, the panel lines are so thin on this model and detail is so lacking that I wonder if it's worth the effort. Another coat of paint will obscure whatever detail the model had to begin with. I'll give it some more thought, however.

OK. So I changed my mind. Here's Witty's model converted to an over armed FW-190F, flown by a midget pilot---by this time the Luftwaffe was pretty desperate for manpower----on the Eastern Front in 1944.

Nice looking work, and it did not end up in the bin.

Epapazian , you have worked another of your rescue missions on that bird.

It looks a whole lot better now, well done.
