  1. Gorgeous work, Dan. Your finish looks incredibly smooth. David
  2. That rotor head is exquisite. At least I think it is, as my eyes have popped out of their sockets and I am now blind. Amazing stuff. David
  3. Great progress so far! The painting setback is minor. What ratio of paint and solvent did you use? Was that sprayed in thin layers or just one pass? Was the surface cleaned prior to painting? You should be able to sand it smooth once fully cured. Another option is to strip the paint off with mineral spirits and try again. David
  4. Fantastic start! The seat looks great, as do the Quinta decals. David
  5. That is a sharp looking Hornet! Excellent fading of the markings. I really like how your wash in the landing gear bays makes the detail pop. Did you use Tamiya panel liner there as well? David
  6. Wow, Serkan. Just... wow. Your 3D modeling skills are seriously impressive. Have you chosen a name for your aftermarket company yet? David
  7. Nice save, Rob! David
  8. Serkan, how are you able to print white? Do you have an Alps printer? David
  9. Nice! 🤩 This looks fun! I thought about doing the same conversion years ago, but as always, life got in the way. I’ll just pull up a seat and watch your magic here, if I may. David
  10. Hello Serkan. It’s good to see you are progressing on the M-21. Excellent work, as always. It appears you have a metallic finish on the inlet spikes. The spikes were a composite material and should be black. The tip of the spikes was solid metal (and very sharp!), and I believe they were unpainted. In 1/72, the metal part is only about 1 mm, IIRC. Keep up the good work. I’m looking forward to the next update. You are close to the finish line! David
  11. Oh my. After all the effort you have put into this, that last shot is pretty heartbreaking. Could you perhaps print a replacement? David
  12. Awesome job with the weathering. Got to love that shark mouth! 🦈 David
  13. That “Sweden” livery has some crazy tail art! That should be pretty striking. 😀 What is the squiggly writing under the word “Sweden,” just above the windows? David
  14. Nice! This is coming along well now. So... many... decals... David
