| Thanks Vic, Keith and Dwight. Should be finished soon, if I can get the bl**dy canopy to seat properly!

| And now it is done! The Loraine antenna has been added, cut from plastic strip, and the retractable step has been fitted, which was made from plastic rod and strip. The larger tailwheel slotted in nicely on it's wire rod, and the main wheels have been painted, 'dirtied' and fitted. I didn't have any suitable tubing from which to make cannon barrels, so 'Evergreen' plastic rod was drilled out, cut to length, and clued into the leading edges of each wing. These were painted very dark grey and, when dry, rubbed with pencil lead. The prop was assembled and brush painted in schwargrun, with a red spinner. When this had dried, the white spiral was painted, using a 00 brush, then the whole lot given a coat of semi-matt clear. The canopy and windscreen joints were sealed with Micro 'Kristal Kleer', painted to match the surrounding area, then given a coat of semi-matt clear to even the appearance. Finally, the antenna wire and lead-in were added, using 'invisible' thread, with blobs of PVA to simulate the insulators. So, here it is, the Arado Ar290A-1/R1, 'White 2' of 13/JG4, at the Focke Wulf Flugplatz, Bremen, in February, 1944. Now it's someone else's turn to do a 'What if?'.......

| WoW...what can I say? Simply awesome work, Terry! Not only is it an outstanding "what if" build, but it's also a kickass build in it's own right! Well done, mister!

| Thanks Karl and Daniel, glad you like it. I've got a 1/48th scale Sea Fury I'd like to do in Luftwaffe markings, slightly modified, as a Focke Wulf design, and based on the carrier Graf Zeppelin, but that would be a waste of a kit! It'll have to be a RN or RAN bird I think! Karl, looking forward to your build mate, especially if you do a pair. Should be brilliant !!

| Don't know what more I could say except to echo previous comments, Terry. Looking really great and those Luftwaffe markings are suprisingly fitting to the Zero.... Ah, yes Arado Ar 290A. My bad.
