Hi Mic,

 

Knowing the ultimately basic base kit of the model I'm really finding your model amazing piece of real modelling to create such an astonishing model!

 

Cheers,

Can I just ask what colours you used please? I am about to start the Revell 1/72 and have a folding wing kit to use. The instructions are a bit vague on colour scheme for the RN version although it looks like sky at the bottom and a dark battleship grey on top. Would the grey be the same colour as the slightly later RN colour scheme (grey top, white underside)?

Lovely model by the way!!!

Martin1962, thank you! No special paint has been applied. I mixed the shades of paint myself, looking at the photos.

Wow, your work on this old kit is nothing short of amazing. Really impressive :worthy: I guess all the modifications/additional details are scratch built (самодел)?

 

Cheers

Shorty84, thank you! Yes, all the modifications are homemade...

I love that the wing can be folded. Interesting model of an interesting, rare aircraft.

 

This would stand out at any modelling competition, high chance of winning a prize.

 

Thx! 😎👍

Fantastic model. 

I remember building one in my youth and not happy with the results. 

Just goes to show what can be done to end up with a beautiful looking model. Your skill, patience and ingenuity abounds. 

Respect.

As the English saying goes, "many a fine tune played on an old fiddle".  I built this kit in the 1960s: I remember it as crude but with superb fit of parts.  You have transformed it into something that can hold its head up next to its modern competitors.

Better by far than excellent, this is outstanding.

 

Thank you for showing it to us.

Colleagues, thank you very much for the feedback! I've loved FROG-NOVO kits since childhood and will try to keep building them in a new hypostasis. I am currently working on the Republic P-47D Thunderbolt.
