Pizza: This is looking very great!!! the canopy revisions are perfect!!!!
YT: I also have/had a Aztek, I had lots of good luck with it in some regards. The control and general feel is amazing but the downfall is its plastic and those nozzles become clogged and when cleaning them they become even worse. If the whole thing including the nozzles was metal it would be as good as any Japanese airbrush. I gave up after two years of buying new nozzles and switched to Iwata.

My belly belly.
I'm all about the base.
Camo, I tried a new technique for the edges. Not sure I like it, especially along the rear of the fuselage. Thoughts?
Defense of Reich band and some insignias. It's been a while since I used stencils I forgot a light hand is better than a heavy one.
Rudolph the red nosed Nutzi.

Thanks Normandy!
Decals on, not a ton of them. I wish I would have used the included stencils with white paint to help them stand out, but hindsight is 20/20 and I thought I could skip the extra work...
Working on the X-4 Ruhrstahl missiles. Still need some touch-ups.

Missiles done, the duality of air to air missiles with plywood fins speaks volumes of Germany at the time.
Mounting to the pylons, I filled over the alignment holes like a mOron.
Added some pins for the wing attachment.
Dum dum puttied over more alignment holes, so I provised a jig.
Not too shabby.

YT, perfect looking warbird.
Could you describe your work inside the cockpit a little bit more detailed? I´ve got 2 kits and would like to built them with a equiped cockpit like yours. I would be happy for every tip , measures, data, details or trick.
Thanks

YT, Amazing! As I said earlier I like the paint scheme, it looks killer!! With the Ruhrstahl X-4's mounted
under the wings, your TA 183 looks like something out of the future or should that be out of the past????
A fantastic job on a Pizzaguy's fantastic kit!

Great Job, Love the X4's. They add a completely new dimension to the plane. Like the antenna. Nice touch.

YT and Pizzaguy,
I'm not a fan of the german genious, but have to concede, this fine work is very impressive.
