cduckworth Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 What a wonderful looking model. Sharp edges on the paint overall and the canopy marking is some of the best I've ever seen. Looking forward to seeing more of your builds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DennisTheBear Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Beautiful rendition of a unique aircraft! English speakers tend toward feminising machines, refering to them as 'she', but since 'she' is next to different makes and models of aircraft I'd call them 'cousins' at best.

72modeler Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Beautiful model, Sasha! Nice scratchbuilding details and you did a great job on the wooden props. Excellent finish, and the silver doped undersides were perfectly done! Gorgeous model of a very weird but pretty good flying airplane! Well done! I hope my 1/72 kit comes out half as good as your 1/48 one! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
