  1. Another victory of talent and stubbornness over plastic.

  2. Excellent result, Rafi! Fantastic painting and weathering!

  3. This Invader looks wonderful, Rafi @blackmopane
    Great work on the various metal shades and weathering.

  4. In spite of any inaccuracies in the model Rafi (@blackmopane), it looks like an Invader. Excellent work on this one. And even though raised panel lines can be a pain in the a... to deal with, these old Monogram kits continue to come out as nice builds, in no small part due to the talents of the builders and also to the effort put into the original research (which is generally correct).

  5. A lovely A-26 - I'm a big fan of this lethal warbird!

  6. It seems A-26s are cursed in 1/48 scale, but you wouldn't know it looking at yours. Excellent work, and not at all "stinky"!

  7. Nice work, Rafi. Yes, I’m happy enough with mine too. Any future Invaders will be 1/72 Italeri/Revell for me.

  8. Well done, and really until the experts pointed out the various shape issues no one ever complained much about Monogram's Invader.
