Fieseler Fi-103 (V1)

Tamiya 1/48

The Tamiya V1 (Vergeltungswaffe Eins) is a simple and easy model to build. Just follow the instructions and find out a nice paint scheme. I selected a RLM 65/82/83 mottled camouflage.

The only problem with this kit were some ugly sink marks on the inside of the dolly's wheels, which I left as they came from Tamiya, too complicated to get rid of them.

I cut off the little propeller and made a new one from scratch when the model was completely assembled and painted.

The dolly was painted with RLM 02 and "scratched" with a technique used by tank modellers, a medium grey applied with a fine-tipped brush.

The result is a couple of weeks spent assembling, painting and decalling this nice kit, it was pure fun.

Try your one!

I wish to thank my friend Massimo Ginesi for the cooperation in taking pictures. I could have never managed without his help!
