    A lovely job indeed! The scheme is very nicely done. I remember building this kit back in the early 80s. It was very detailed for its time. Miguel

    Thank you very much @binbrook87, @Alpha Delta 210, @RMCS and @Toryu. The invasion stripes were part of the kit's decal sheet. A little tricky to get right but I managed. 😉 In my notes I mention it would have been easier if I had cut them and placed top and bottom wing stripes separately.

    Here is the third of my Minicraft 1:144 Martin B-26 Marauders which I built back in 2014. It represents Martin B-26C-45-MO Marauder 42-107812/KS-J "Baby Bumps II", of 557th BS, 387th BG, USAAF, in 1944. I added a Matador Models white metal cockpit, opened up all the windows and thinned the turret guns as much as possible. Despite the white metal cockpit part, I had to add a little extra weight to prevent the kit from tipping on its tail. The gun barrels of the external gun packs were scraped off the fuselage sides and replaced with new ones from either plastic or metal rod (can't remember!). The kit was completely painted and varnished by brush. Thanks for looking and, as usual, all comments are welcome Miguel

    Lovely job!! Very nice indeed! I built one of these (original Matchbox) quite a while ago and have another in the stash plus some Xtrakit boxings. I will be building them regardless of the SH kit. I just hope they come out as well as yours. Miguel

    Here is the second of a trio of Sweet 1:144 "BoB Aces" Hawker Hurricane Mk.Is built back in 2009. It represents P2921/GZ-L, flown by Flt Lt Peter Malam Brothers, No. 32 Sqn, RAF, Biggin Hill/Hawkings, UK, July 1940. The kit was fully painted with brush except for the final matt varnish which was airbrushed. Thanks for looking Miguel

    Very nice execution of this crazy idea!! I haven't seen any painted like this and I must say it looks great but I have a soft spot for desert schemes. Well finished! Miguel

    Here is my latest kit finished just yesterday. It's Kami de Korokoro's all resin 1:144 Caproni-Campini N.1. It represents the first prototype (MM487) at the Caproni facility in Taliedo, near Milan, Italy, on 27 August 1940. Although low in part count, it still took quite a bit of work to clean up the parts, fix malformations and improve the mating of parts. I added the main undercarriage retraction arms and the wing pitot from stretched sprue. The kit was fully painted and varnished with brush. The kit decals were poorly printed so, apart from the tail crosses, the remaining markings came from other sheets. Although I didn't completely iron out all the flaws, I'm pleased with the end result. Thank you for looking and all comments are welcome as always Miguel
