Thanks my dear friend. It's hard to find other sets besides this one. The Willys should look nice btw.

They are paratroopers brotha P, they were no part of this piece of history I'm afraid. The Tamiya set could be it with the Willys. Domino has it. Tx mate.

Thanks chaps, I think it was an important fact that the highways were used as improvised runways with the surrounding forests as a hiding place. Must be fun to build such a dio, I've already dug up my paper lasercut ferns😎👍

This proves that our modelling hobby means more than just gluing parts of plastic together. It's also about sharing an interest for history.👍

Who knows what could have happened to this canopy? Weird, isn't it?

Now it looks perfect Thank you my friend. The canopy was no perfect fit, the front part had to be sanded as it didn't smoothly line up with the nose section. The middle part was sanded a bit as well to ensure a gapless fit. Canopies give me the creeps to be honest. The canopies from my Eduard Me-109's however were bang on perfect. Btw this arrived this morning :
