Hey Steve,

A beautiful looking build and paint job, and a brilliant recovery.

I've only ever used paper as a backdrop so hopefully this will not happen to me.

fingers tightly crossed.

Tony.

Fantastic job. Camo paint jobs make me weak at the knees just thinking about doing them......

Very nice Steve, but didn't you build this one to replace another damaged one ? If so, I fear there is a pattern developing here.

Hi steve, superb job--both times!! Its infuriating to say the least when you think its all done then something comes along like this, the aichi b7 grace i did recently had a similar mishap. i too was taking pics outside on a fairly still day ,and remember the one where the prop was spinning? well just after that a gust of wind picked up the card base and i had to catch the model in mid air- snapping off the aerial and wires which took me about an hour and a half to repair , i just kept breaking the wire applying heat to tension it! Nothing like the flattening your poor 109 got but i know a little how you felt!! Regardless, yours still came out the other end a 5 star job, great recovery!! cheers tony
