Very impressive build, I would be intrested in more pictures of the XF11 as well I'd like to see how it would dwarf B-737 or B-52... An incredible build!

donalyah00 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 (edited) An utterly amazing build! If one takes the sheer size of 1/72nd scale Spruce Goose into account, the attention to the detail is simply amazing! Skin wrinkles, hollowed and thin-walled air intakes, perfect glazing, realistic lights and a perfect paint coat! A museum quality model, congratulations! The build process photos are also worth looking at! 3 hours ago, neil5208 said: [...] I would be intrested in more pictures of the XF11 as well I second that!

Roger Holden Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Really great job, from nose to tail. I especially like the canopy work. How many bottles of Alclad did you use to cover the beast ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cngaero Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 That is just simply magnificent. Your paint finish is flawless. It's absolutely huge, but still manages to be graceful at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRunner Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Superb. John, but dudn’t you start to go metallic-crazy while spraying all that paint!? I guess you must have used an Auto sprayer for something that size Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnl42 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 OUTSTANDING! I've built several Amodel 1/144 kits, and I know well the serious modeling skills you had to engage to get this to turn out so well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzn20 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Thought I'd misread . 1/72nd ? Can't be surely . What a build though . can't add anything that hasn't already been said . Spotless . Well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
