  1. Congratulations on tackling this very challenging kit and coming up with such awesome result, Rafi!

  2. Rafi, I don’t know how you do it. The quality and sheer volume of your work continues to blow my mind.

  3. Having done one of those, "challenging kit" is an understatement.

    Excellent work and a great result, again.

  4. Very impressive result, Rafi @blackmopane
    Especially the effects on the exhausts are very realistic.

  5. As said above, a very nice job on a challenging kit. Tried it once and it ended on the SOD, and went into the bin during a move.

  6. Well done! I remember that challenging kit - I had problems with the gear, so I retracted it.

  7. Great looking build and weathered finish on that Duck Rafi. I won't be rushing around to find that Classic Airframes kit to build, however I appreciate you overcoming all of its obstacles and pressing on with patience 🙂

  8. Great Duck! Looks great in that scheme. Well done!
