Totally original and brilliant.

Thanks guys, I'm really glad you all like it. To be honest I think it's one of the best if not the best build I've done. I really enjoyed putting this together.


But as for a winner at Newark that's up to the judges.

Hi Colin. I think it was an FW190 built with after market cockpit and a figure on a grassy base. It did look good.

I bet it looked good, but not exactly different was it !

My thoughts exactly Colin , the one that came first was a well built model but I reckon Ians creativity and originality should have got more recognition (in other words i reckon it shoud have won !) cheers tony
