I had no luck to my tests with alclad varnish or the ak's gauzy agent!! Hope you like it!!

I think that, even if the photoes really dont show the real thing, the outcome is really nice. Here i worked with the different shading of the metal. As Duncan a.k.a. ''Sabrejet'' has pointed out many times, this shading is due to the different way of threatin

Dont know if it is the right place to share but i saw some guys are interested in. I have available the Eduard set 48870 which is the landing flaps for eduard kit which i think is a hasegawa reboxing. I made some measurements my self and it seems to fit perfectly on the accurate one. For the moderators, please if i brake any rules with this post delete it, dont want to cause any trouble. John
