  1. Thanks we are glad to be beter. Now we have the internet to learn new techniques 😁
  2. Thanks glad you like it so much! Those blue prop hubs and the story behind White 33 is what attracted me to the model!
  3. Thanks! Thank you that is very nice of you to say that! 🙂
  4. Thank you indeed it is a great kit but be sure to follow the steps in the instructions because if you do not you could have problems later on... do not ask 😉
  5. Thank you! we are happy that we are back in good health! I am a slow builder... sorry about that 😉
  6. Thank you, I did my best to capture the spirit of a P-38 that had seen action and especially White 33 the only P-38 with a war record still flying I believe.
  7. Thank you for your nice comments! I continually checked with photographs to see I kept it realistic. It could have even been better if it would have been totally riveted since there is a special pattern around the cockpit but I did not feel like doing the entire plane since photographic reference shows that you see very little of the flush rivets on the real planes! That you we have recovered and hope it stays like that since there is a second wave around here of infections and since my wife is a nurse you never know what can happen. Keep safe
  8. Thank youI This is a model that lent itself to a lot of weathering, I continually checked with photographs to keep it realistic. Yes at the moment we are ok. Nasty thing that virus!
  9. This is an exceptional build model and expertly weatherd at that!
  10. Thank you I took my time to weather the plane and I used many layers to blend the effects. Yes at the moment we have recovered and hope it stays like that. Only the province I live in has fast rising infections. Time will tell how it will evolve! Keep safe!
  11. Thank you for that comment! However I think they would need a larger model for that but they may always contact me I would be glad to build a larger one 😁 Thanks a lot!
  12. Thank you for your kind words! Yes the weathering took a long time. There were 3 different Olive drab paints used and two gray ones. I used a lot of oil paints, Pastel powder, weathering pencils and some Ushi metal powders here and there.
  13. You are quite right... I was busy doing to many things at the same time... thank you for your comment, I corrected the title!
  14. Thank you! It was so clear in the box, you just need to keep it clear... So I used masks from an early moment and kept it on till the last!
  15. Thank you, I tried to get that look, there are many layers of al different kinds of paint to het that result.
  16. Thank you very much. Indeed we are better but infection rate is climbing rapidly here. I work at home and wil continue to build more models, modelling is the best hobby for these times.
