WWII Scale model’s

My 5 year old grandson saw a nutcracker decoration and told me if I could paint one like that it would be a masterpiece. Well I took a few days to see if I could paint up to his expectations. Certainly not a masterpiece but he gave me his approval, even though it’s not done.

Quite possibly the worst model I’ve ever built I lost a few parts, broke the rudder off a couple times, and spilled thinner on it after I finished painting it. I also wrecked and lost a few decals Great kit my aircraft building skills suck. Either way Bf109 G-6. Have a P51 on the bench that hopefully will turn out better.

The finished piece. I may go back and add some stripes or something to the pants for more visual interest. Now I’ve been tasked to paint a drummer nutcracker for the MIL...
I'm not much of a Christmas guy but I love Nutcrackers. I even keep a couple of small ones on my desk year round. I watched some videos on making them with the thought of giving it a try but quickly realized that it was beyond my meager carpentry skills.
 
Great builds, I really dig the way you have the hatches and canopies opened showing the detail. Super nice!
thank you, brother! Only good thing that came from Covid was giving me enough free time to blow the dust off of a hobby that went dormant in 1979.

your stuff is phenomenal!
