When I first went over the photos in this thread I thought someone really knows how to use an airbrush. Then, to my surprise, when I read the text, I discover this is all brush painted. Your brush painting far exceeds any thing I have ever brush painted in my life and is a far bit better than the results I can achieve with an airbrush. Just so impressed. Thanks for sharing this great build.

Wow. Just Wow. An overall whitish paint scheme that doesn't look monochromatic and unreal. Amazing finish and weathering done here. Also, the tip about how to do the port sliding window is an excellent one and one I will be stealing, I mean, borrowing in the future. Thanks for sharing.

I always appreciate a well done clean build of a kit. I think it is just as hard to do as a BMF as every mistake made during the build and finish shows up with no weathering strategically placed to hide the defects. Obviously, your build and finish was done with no obvious gaffs as the clean finish just looks like a factory fresh aircraft being delivered. Great job and thanks for sharing.

Having to cut out modeling right now due to health reasons, I empathize with having to limit your time. However, you've done one better than me and got one finished and it is finished well. The build looks good, the painting is spot on and the weathering is just enough to make it interesting. Well done and thanks for sharing. Also your post gives me hope I can return to my basic destruction of a model kit trying to build it like it should look like.

Good looking Mustang set in a really effective diorama to set it off even better. Just great work and thanks for sharing it.

Fantastic replica of Rudel's tank busting Stuka. The painting and weathering were superb. Thanks for sharing the kit and your impressions of the paints and finishes you tried out.

As a veteran, I am always touched that sometimes it seems people do care about the trials and tribulations endured by those who serve. (Sorry jaded veteran from the war nobody liked in the 60s & 70s and Veteran's Day just was this week). Your background story and this finished kit are humbling. Thank you enough for caring to honor this fallen young man with a just beautiful finished kit of the plane he flew in. You are appreciated and thanks for sharing it all.

Now this is a kit and aircraft you don't normally see built and displayed, even though the actual aircraft is very elegant in design, at least to me. Excellent build and finish. Thanks for sharing.

Great looking conversion to make the "Battle of Britain" 109s. I remember the actual aircraft being found here in Texas in some out of the way barn years ago after being forgotten. Excellent build and finish and thanks for sharing it. I did read your build in LSP and it was interesting how you managed to overcome some of the build problems because of the after market suggestion of the wrong donor kit. Way to go for you.

It is always good to see a shelf of doom kit reach conclusion. On this one, you finished it up quite well and the wait was worth it. Really well done on the build and painting. Thanks for sharing.

You look at the photos and all of the detail you put into these teeny kits and it is still amazing that they are 1/144th scale. You have a particular skill set for these munchkin kits that is phenomenal. Well done on all three and much respect. Thanks for sharing them.

This is a superbly finished Mosquito. Just a delight for the eyes. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful pair of Me 262s. The nightfighter scheme is especially appealing and done quite well. Superb job on each and thanks for sharing.

Another fine review that tweaks my addictive attraction to purchasing more and more kits that will just collect dust for awhile. Thanks for sharing.

If this is your normal order you should qualify to buy wholesale from them as Macalain Model Store, Inc. Just a thought. Amazing to think of that quantity of one particular kit.
