    Loved the painting process, nice result; and thorough pic coverage.

    The "Iron Werks" CEO is also watching this build with keen interest... All these models and so little time...

    Your Kyofu manufactured by BMW is looking very sharp !

    Excellent paintjob, Marcus @mvtb!
    The Kyofu is such a beautiful plane. I find its lines mean yet harmonius.
    Waiting eagerly for your decals!

    Looking forward to your decalling, @mvtb!

    The Future application did several things at once... It looks as if it darkened up the green, made your model look much shinier as expected, and it also provided a great surface to add the decals on. Looks great too...
