ok - im looking at this - and im only thinking one thing - WOW I REALLY WANT TO BUILD THAT !! weathering is pure art - love the work put into this one - big well done best Mark

faultless build paint and weathering - excellent work - you must be pleased - more thanks !! best Mark

that 100% rocks !! the first photo the black and white one - in the first second i glimpsed it i thought cool reference photo !! this is really the only way to show the scale of these huge bombers ! well done you must be very proud. best Mark

another stunner ! been waiting for a retool of a OA-4m - thought Hasegawa would have done it by now... Well how can i say this - sort of "scared" of building a monogram kit for fear of it not going together so well? But your build looks absolutely spot on -- so maybe I should just try it.

Awesome work - love scooters ! this is really pleasing to my eyes - VERY much like the weathering and shading best Mark

wow - how can i put this "ugly and beautiful at the same time" Im quite captivated by the lines of this mig! OK sorry yes the model is to me faultless - very well done. But im really entranced by this type - maybe because we dont see it often? please tell me this trumpeter kit - is it quite good? I know its one of the earlier kits - but it looks really good ? best Mark

Im one of the "wierdos" that prefers the Hurricane over the Spitfire - just think it looks "rougher around the edges" sort of more purposeful sort of agricultural and obviously not "pretty like a spit" you have really done this one justice - very inspiring.Its lightly weathered and nothing wrong with that - they were clean at one point of there lives. best Mark

faultless model - looks really good. For your photos - (i had same problem making photos of HET) you need to diffuse the lights because you have a lot of glare and blown out areas. I only know this because I had the same problems. when you use a tent it diffuses the light - all you need to do is hang a sheet of tracing/tissue paper in front of the bulbs - it will make a lot of difference. best Mark

mig-21 one of my favourites - this one really is a jaw dropper - well done

drool drool drool - what a sabre! so much awesome stuff on this forum - cant we just have a "wow thats fantastic" button

now thats one beautiful family !

awesome work Hurbert !! best Mark

awesome work - wish i could get my hands on this kit! is this OOB? cheers Mark

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

you can add the blues, browns and other shades with the tamiya weathering "make up set" - thats what i have used before. then spray a bit of brown and tamiya smoke for shading. finally matt coat on top. you get this sort of effect - i would say you have cracked the most difficult part the metallics.

they dont look weathered like the photos. but the metal coats look ok
