Buzby061 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) Top job there Mish. I did a 1/48 one in that scheme, a victim of The Great Roof Disaster of 2002. Pete Edited December 30, 2011 by Buzby061 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousDFB1 Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 Thanks guys, and if I may say so without appearing big headed. I think this is my best build to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 That's a mighty fine build and paint job there Mish. You have taken a near 'perfect' kit (by all accounts) and made a near perfect job of it. It's difficult to fins anything to constructively criticise but since I know you appreciate that sort of thing I gave it a few more looks. Comparing the model with the the reference photo you posted, I wonder if your representation isn't perhaps a little too clean and shiny. Other than that, it's outstanding and I think a likely GB winner too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhtmo Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Thanks for sharing Mish. That's a stunner. BTW, are the checkers a decal? And how did you paint the spinner so well? Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end it was down to ver careful masking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
