Farmerboy Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Wow! That’s a absolute stunner, put it in a museum because it’s that good! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForestFan Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Very nice and not often seen built up. Any issues with the building other than the decals? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're too kind:) 15 minutes ago, ForestFan said: Very nice and not often seen built up. Any issues with the building other than the decals? A few notable areas are engine and canopy. The kit comes with a nicely done engine but it lacks exhaust collector ring behind the engine. The two-part canopy doesn't fit and the sliding rail needs major improvement. Also the struts one the fuselage are very weak. Sand filter, fit to the right of the engine, is not included. This is required for tropicalized version.

janneman36 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Great job on the camouflage scheme ....triple A 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holzhamer Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Ohh, this is a very well painted and balanced model. The weathering is very realistic to my eye. Those undersides stains have a very nice tone, how do you do them if I may ask? Congratulations on your work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodenlee Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 A really beautiful job on what I am sure is a very difficult scheme to paint. Your photography if top notch too! Cheers Shaun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 That is gorgeous,..... very, very nice indeed and the paintwork is wonderful. I have a couple yet to build, one as a Greek AF one and another captured by 3 Sqn RAAF but I cannot work out the correct scheme for the latter!

Those undersides stains have a very nice tone, how do you do them if I may ask? Congratulations on your work Thank you! The underside stains are a few layers of black and brown oil color I run down the fuselage with a brush. Once a layer is dried, it is covered with a coat of clear gloss. This way, the intensity and tone of the stains can be varied better than with a single layer approach. 14 hours ago, tonyot said: That is gorgeous,..... very, very nice indeed and the paintwork is wonderful.

Cheers Tony Oh! the captured example will be very interesting. I think I saw one in a film clip of the liberation of Tobruk. Good luck with yours! Thank you all for your very generous comments. I truly appreciate it. Nanond 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
