    Piece of art. Amazing job. I can imagine that model with a RCM rotary engine so you could enclose the nose to scale and run a true three bladed prop.

    Very nice!! I fly a 1/4 scale 109 F, that I built from the old Meister Scale plan. It's full balsa, with a fiberglass skin. Power is from a DLE-61, which gives it very good power. She's a wonderful flyer.
    I did the paint and finish as Hartmann's first 109 when he was posted to JG52. I see in your video that you also have what looks to be a 1/4 Balsa USA Fokker D-VIII. Funny enough I fly one of those as well with a DLE-35. Thanks for the look and Happy Landings!!

      @@NerdSteve thanks for the comment! I appreciate it! Thank you for watching. My original plan was to flat clear the entire model. But what I have found through experience is that the Tamiya paint I yes holds up extremely well. It also allows the exhaust gas/oil residue to impregnate the paint making it look even more authentic. Just my two cents.

It´s interesting, that in the former "foe"-countries the swastika is allowed and no one matters but in the former father land of the young pilots who gave their lives in the meaning to fight for their country against bolschewism and the two countries who declared war first to Germany, it´s strictly forbidden. Crazy...
