Hello, i'm slowly progressing on this model; Riveting and the main weathering job is almost done. Next step, washes, some airbrish adds and chalks. BTW, sorry for tempestwulf, I forgot to answer you !!!! Thnaks for looking ! AE

Hello, Pretty nice model, almost from the box, but the prop is to be replaced (to narrow...) Bye and thanks for watching ! AE.

Hello Jack ! Thanks !!! Paints are a mixture of XF-64/57 et Xf-3. gunze. Hellers notice propose Sand 121/Brown 119 + gray 127 (Humbrol). In fact, those planes were literally cooked under East african hard sun (more than 50° Celsius). You have a large choice for weathering !!! Bye.. AE

Hello Diego, To nice to me. I certainly learned more from you !!!!! The effects are post shading. My paint is t heavy to support pre shading in fact. Back to Nadal now.. AE.

Still with oldies ! This one is the Heller kit, rescribed and painted in a kind of desert scheme with Gunze paints. According to me, the most accurate, still now. The only week points are a certain lack of details (but you must now that it has been produced in 1979) and a relativ weekness of the main landing gear as the third pic shows it very well. To be immediately replaced if you dont want, like me, to make some hard surgery few years later ! Bye ! AE

Hello, Another of my old kits (built around 1999)... Nice model with nice details, and by that time my weathering job was much more light and delicat. Really different !!! Bye for now, AE

Hello again, One model finished 6 years ago, before tamiya relased its own. Nice kit, but some fitting problems around the wing area; The photoeched parts are also very very tough. Thanks for looking ! Bye, Ae.

Hello, This my little Hetzer, from this german suppletivs, by the end of the war. Tamiya model with some aftermarkets... Bye ! AE.

Hello again, Another wreck... Good model, heavy paint style focusing on riveting job with sharp pencil and inks (one day I like, another looks like sh.. !!!!! to me). BTW, Used again soviet troups during night harassment flight around 1942. Thanks for looking ! AE the weathering belly process...

Thank !!! As you can notice, afetr the major painting job, effects have been added using masking tape, then post shading, chalks/inks and washes in an no progressiv order, until you reach something that is pleasing you.

Hello, Among some old kits, this one from the Hasegawa box. No after markets, but few home made things in the cockpit and pretty heavy paint job. Bye ! AE

Hello ! Thanks !! But if you carefully look at the canopy, you may notice that the windshield junction is far from perfect and that the sliding hood has been cutted, wich is not necessary for the Tamiya model in quater inch; Bye. AE

hello Domi, Welcome Ca claque ! (meaning you got the hole thing !!!) AE

Hello again, Another old kit (build around 2001). Flaps and tail surfaces cutted. Excellent model, if you except the windshield junction. Bye, and thanks for looking. if the weathering seems a little heavy, the real one looked this way compared with a BW pic I started from. AE

Thanks a lot folks, I found this one. Hope you like it ! Cheers, AE

Hello, An oldie... Trumpeter model with the original (wrong cowling) finished I think around 2003. Now a real wreck, somewhere in my cave surrounded by rats and souvenirs... B) But still the best Corsair if you adapt the Revell front part on it; Bye and thanks for looking ! AE.

Hello again, Among many oldies, this model, finished circa 2008. Not really easy 'cause the original model, reboxed by Pacific coast, was rebuilt with lot of extra parts, many in scratch. If you wish to make a Fiat now, some other kits are much more better. Colors are acrylics, and, as usual, weathering a bit heavy. The suggested fuselage framework is copied from some original B/W pics. Thanks for looking ! AE PS : BTW : many in progress pics available if you like.

Thanks !!! Somes pics in process Riveting/cutting/sanding/coating/weathearing. Usual work. Sure that I would now chose the Hasegawa one !!! bye, AE

Hello, From Italeri, recent 1/35 kit. Almost straight from the box... Finished circa 2010. I prefer airplanes in fact, but from time to time, armor is quite good challenge for weathering a bit more. Thanks for looking ! AE.

Hello, First, as someone who worked with spanish modelers few years ago, I just can say that they are not only very, very, very talented, but also nice and particularly profesional people, and not only as authors. Now concerning Diego, and this particular model, just one thing : WHAT ELSE §§§§§§ I could say so much more in french but he certainly knows what's on my mind. Well done, and god bless your hand (your airbrush, and perhaps/may be your wife for her patience ...) Anis El Bied

Hello, After the D.Day, the Free French used some Dewoitines taken from the german fighter schools mainly for straffing job. This one belonged to the G.C II/18 "Saintonge " operating from Cognac in december 1944 and was overpainted with some (german ?)colors found on the battlefield. Otherwise, as you know may be, an excellent kit ! Thanks for looking ! AE

Hello ! I found few new pics of this project finished by the end of 2009 summer in pretty hard conditions. The model was rescribed, riveted. NMF finish painted with Tamiya AS 12 Airspray, before polishing, weathering job. This particular airplane was probably the last one used by the french pilot/writer, Antoine de St Exupery (third group decals. Thanks for looking it again and nice WE . AE

Hello, One the last kits finished by the end of 2010. Nothing special to say instead of being fully riveted, and with slightly larger nose and reshaped Hasegawa spiner. Acrylic paints from Gunze, airbrushed using the Harder Stenbeck Evolution. Bye for now and thanks for looking ! AE.
