  1. Another great build Rafi. The fuselage correction is beautifully done, and as always, your weathering is gorgeous.

  2. Another beauty, Rafi @blackmopane
    Perfect work done on the fuselage extension.
    As always, your weathering and painting approach is amazing.

  3. It is a testament of your skill that even after you tell us that you’ve extended the fuselage, I still have absolutely no clue where you did it. Fantastic work, as usual!

  4. Excellent job allover, including extension of the fuselage, Rafi!
    Superb painting and weathering!

  5. Nice work, Rafi.
