A beauty - my favorite part of this is the look of the white you achieved on the bottom. Would be interested to know your process for ending up with such a natural-looking weathered off-white.
Agreed, it is an outstanding kit, and wonderfully assembled and painted. Did you mask the canopy interior or paint the exterior with chromate green before the blue? I have seen masks for sale that include separate pieces for the interior. I think I would go mad just trying to place them properly.
Thank you, Russell.
Traditionally, I take shortcuts with respect to canopy painting. Canopy interior is brush painted from the inside if visible and camouflage is brush painted on the outside. Excess dry paint is removed with a tooth pick.
How can you do so many wonderful models in quick succession?! If I could do them as well as I do my stash would dry out so quickly...
This is old stock that share leading eventually, to the near dry out of my stash...
It takes your painting talents for it to look so authentic. Well done!
Thank you, Dan.
Great work as usual. My uncle flew this plane in WWII.
Thank you, Mark.
From my experience, family relatives are a great source of photographs...
Very nice. Which paints did you use?
Thank you, Marshall.
This is an old model and I believe I used ModelMaster's enamel paints.
Outstanding build and very realistic finishing.
Thank you, John.
Awesome job, Rafi!
Congratulations!
Thank you, Spiros!
That is beautiful! I've had one in the stash for years everytime I see such a wonderful build I tell myself I need to get it out
Thank you, Rob!
Definitely a kit that stands the test of time, and your modeling skills made the best of what was in the box.
Thank you, Tom!

Thank you, Greg.
Black paint first to remain in the recessed areas and then, white spray an some subtle dark grey brown stains.
Well Done! A beautiful result, and I couldn’t agree more. Best kit of the type in any scale, hands down.
Thank you, Frederick!
Nice Turkey, Rafi!
Thank you, John!
Very nice, Rafi @blackmopane). Paint and subtle weathering are perfect.
Thank you, George.
What more to add, Rafi @blackmopane
Such a beautiful build and excellent painting result on this tri-color scheme.
Thank you, John.
G’day Rafi (@blackmopane),
