cngaero Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Fantastic weathering. Your attention to detail is outstanding. In particular, I love the little dents in the drop tanks. Certainly a job well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildeSau75 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I agree - this is one of the best looking P-51 I have seen here lately. Great detailing, great weathering and painting. Congrats to a top notch model. Cheers, Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Like the other guys have noted, the attention to detail is simply breathtaking. The weathering is a little heavy for my taste, but that's not meant as a criticism in any way. Ian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 That's rather nice.For something that was meant to be out of the box though, I have to say that you don't have much willpower! J. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolwe82 Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 Thanks Ian, i appreciate any kind of comments. And no problem at all, someone likes clean models, someone likes them dirty as hell thats everyones personal taste and i respect others opinion in this i m the guy who likes the kits more dirty (well, i would like them as most realistic as it could be done, but that is a long way for me yet ), but even then i have to agree with you, in some particular areas it is a tiny little bit too heavy even for me, but well, one is still learning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jusjay Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Wow what a finish. I've just been thru the wip post and jumped to here....it looks incredible. That weathering detail is just unreal.well done it's beautiful 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_the_drummer Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Startlingly good work there - incredible weathering. I like to think of weathering as being impressionistic - sure, you can go for absolute accuracy, but I'd rather be drawn in with a bit of drama such that I want to know the story of the machine in question and the people who flew and worked on her. After all, if you wanted absolute accuracy, there's no substitute for sheet metal and 1:1 scale! I absolutely love this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
