Absolutely superb Wolwe. Your close-up photos show what stunning results you achieve. Really glad you decided to carry on working on this one! Well done.

Thanks Cooken, i m realy happy you and others like it :) I did some work on the P-40 yesterday and made some shots, sadly my postimage account is full so i need to find some other page for storing my photos :( But i could delete some old galeries there, so i could upload like half of the shots i did made :)

So the last finishing touches were done on the fuel tank, did some dust and mud work all around with pigments and here is the result :)

the fuel tank - sadly only one shot made it to the postimage, rest were left out bcs of the limit size reached.. I ll add more shots as soon as i find new page for sharing photos (this is the same for overall shots too)

I did some series of shots on the sunshine (well, inside of the house but with sun shining through the window :) ), sadly only these two made it to the size limit.

That is a work of art Wolwe. Your attention to detail still amazes me as does your weathering. Brilliant at all levels. Well done.

Right - have you decided what's next?

Kind regards,

Stix

Thanks guys for your nice words :) i m happy how she did turn out after all.. it could be better, but i can say that about any of my work.. :D

Next.. well.. i started to work on another P-40N, deciding between full NMF/aluminium US/australia version, some SAAF OTU machine (with yellow stripes) or maybe something else even.. I started to work on it at the moment when the exhaust staining went almost all white on this P-40M.. So not sure if i ll even finish it.. need to find some photo-storage page as well anyway :)

After that (or along with that) i should finaly do the Airfix 1/48 Gnat i got as xmass gift.. aaand i bought the new Eduard Spitfire VIII in overtrees version (i have some spare decals for it at home).. But there is also the French GB and i have Mirage 2000C i would like to do... as something totaly different for my restart (so far after my restart i did only WW2 planes). And there is P-38 GB comming soon.. :D soooo.... a lot of work to do, so little time.. :)

Oki, noticed the limit on the Postimage was not about the number of images but about the size of single uploaded image.. so after few changes, i can show you some more images :)

Wolwe , I used the virtually same bits and pretty much the same kit as you (E not M) but yours is like a Caravaggio while mine is akin to a five year olds finger painting: Truly excellent work and a superb display of skill and talent.
