  1. Superb result on this Ju88 Mistel, Rafi @blackmopane
    Especially this camouflage looks awesome, a lot of manual work done.
    Well done.

  2. Very well done, the camo looks perfectly done and that is not an easy scheme. Great work.

  3. Looks good, Rafi

  4. That turned out well, Rafi. Now I have to search to find out if they ever used these operationally.

  5. Top notch camo work!

  6. As everyone else has said, the paintwork on this is really outstanding.

  7. Did anyone mention the awesome paintwork? Outstanding!

  8. Yeah, you had me at "squiggles and splotches!" How on earth you got that squiggle pattern down so nicely is beyond my skill. I'll never be able to achieve that look in 1/72... 🙁

  9. Another gem, Rafi! Painting and weathering are, as always, superb! If I recall (never built one), the Dragon kit is said to be a challenge to build, nothing your excellent skills cannot handle, of course.
    Congratulations!
