Adam1818 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Wow awesome job! I built the same kit but it doesn't have that kind finish to it! What a beauty! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kurnass77 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Thanks for your kindness Adam,but one of the best things of the modelling is that don't exist a model identical to another,every ones is a different rendition of the same subjects resultant by the author's taste!

dsahling Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Anytime you see someone pull off a 1/72 scale to the point where it looks 1/32, you've found someone who really knows how make a model! Nicely done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kurnass77 Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 Thanks for your comment guys,nore than appreciated! This build was a little dream for me,as I falling in love with the Hun as a child reading one of my dad's aviation encyclopedias about the 'Nam war,but I never find a model. And then arrived Internet... Gianni Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Platycqb Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Very nice! I enjoyed reading the WIP thread, especially the exhaust shades rendition. Probably the one thing that is keeping from doing a Hun, I have no confidence in mastering these airbrush techniques. But with more and more tutorials/step by step like yours, I am getting tempted. Thanks for that! :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IJ001 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Stunningly good. Ian. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kurnass77 Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 Thanks guys! Platy,mAlso I was afraid of the metal'peeling off area,but the the process was solved far smoothly I've previously thinked. Feel free to ask at any moment for help! Gianni Quote Link to post Share on other sites
balls47 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Yessir, You did a great job on one of my favorite USAF "older" jets. The F-100C/D/F was a workhorse in the Vietnam War, and you made your "Hun" look like a workhorse. Again, great job, my friend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Boyer Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I gotta say, that's the best 1/72 camo Hun I've ever seen. Beautiful work! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kurnass77 Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 Thanks for your words friends,much appreciated,really! The F-100C/D/F was a workhorse in the Vietnam War, and you made your "Hun" look like a workhorse. This was my goal,and I hope to made him some justice...

Spad Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Here is another superb work! I went to look around the wip, I confess to you that I had not seen before (at this time I have little free time) but it was good because I saw all the work complete without waiting!
