  3. Fabulous, crisp finish with what feels like just the right amount of weathering. Patches of intense color: red, blue, black really make the model. Bravo!

    Welcome onboard and thanks for sharing

    A pleasure to share with you.

  5. Like the Editor said - crisp finish with the right amount of weathering. Beautiful work on the decals.

    Your countryman Pablo Calcaterra has done a number of models from the Argentine side of the war, with a lot of history I'd never have known otherwise, so I am able to say I do know the significance of this airplane.

  6. Nice model, nicely displayed!
