Latinbear Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Not only is it nice to see something different it is also an altogether lovely piece of work. I particularly like the subtle weathering which really adds to it. Your photography shows it off really well too. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattheCat Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Looking at the pictures I would have sworn Tamiya 1/32 and then I saw the tag. Cracking job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWM Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Very realistic looking Spit!. Could you provide some info on real stuff, please? - what unit, what time? Cheers J-W P.S. Some important detail - the angles in u/c. Here are I think perfect. Sometimes people do not care about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horatio Gruntfuttock Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Stunning job Randy, and it just goes to show that when markings are painted on as well as you have here, then they look,well, painted on like the real thing! A very very nice job on an interesting scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the Hussar instructions, this Spit is from Groupe de reconnaissance 2/33 “Savoy”, while based at Dijon-Longvic, France in December 1944.

That is interesting! - apparently the memory in wartime was short since only a few years before a yellow tail was sign for Vichy AF in Syria. So one can expected a kind of taboo on this sign...apparently-not here! Cheers J-W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
