I have finally succumbed to pressure from my good lady and got round to building a WWI aircraft.  Not wanting to be too routine with the model I have chosen a Fokker D.VII with some extremely unusual artwork which should give me plenty to think about.

The Dawn Patrol is looming . . . .

Well I still can't get into repairing my Mick Reeves Spitfire, so I am going to have a go at a YT P51D Mustang.  Always liked the Mustang and plan on reworking the airframe similar to the 109 upgrades.  I will also be demonstrating my Paint Mask systems on the model.
