Skii Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Thanks guys , I guess the real challenge with the overall finish of the aircraft was simulating the RAM without resorting to scribing panel lines all over the airframe which wouldn't be right on a B-2 at all, hence the 3 repaints ! The comments make it all worthwhile,and hopefully have spurned a few others to tackle the kit as despite its challenge does a very competent job at capturing the shape of this aircraft. Thanks again all John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pilatus Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Skii You leave me without any word to say! Modell is more than great, it's look like that you take real aircraft and reduce it to this scale... Awesome modell!!!!!!!!! Fantastic Regards Marijan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Middleton Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 John, absolutely incredible work. Everything from the scratchbuilding to the finish - top notch. I may have missed it, but did you make the markings, or did they come with it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

caudleryan Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Excuse me while I go to the hospital to have my jaw re-attached. It hit the floor because of the pure awsomness of the finished model. Very stunning build and I enjoyed every minute of it in the in-progress thread. RYAN. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MICK Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee." - Samuel L Jackson, Pulp Fiction - stencilled on the bulkhead of the B-2 entry stairwell. John you really did her justice! Shes just gorgeous. Fantastic work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
