[Supermario]

Thank you once more and again for all your kind works !!!

 

It means a lot to me!! and I feel a bit embarassed now...

 

 

...

 

 

@ Hubert : I'm also wondering what these "oven exhausts" are doing on what was supposed to be the ultimate technology and aircraft engineering... ???

 

 

@ Martinnfb : I think there are a lot of things and painting approach to take from the spanish school. I try to use it for example, to bring more live in the cockpits (with more or less success... ).

The rest looks to me like you have different arts of comics. Then, one like it or not.

Personnaly, I really enjoy looking at those models (unless the style is overdone), but I absolutely don't see my self painting this way, never.

I prefer having a photo of the subject and try to repeat what I see on my model...

 

...

 

Now to close the build... the little things are done.

 

red trim tabs...

 

... and aerial antenna (it seems that resin is very reactive on temperatures...! After 5 minutes shooting outdoor - at -3°C - the antenna was completely distended because of the fuselage retraction... )

 

Canopy hooks (made of squeezed lead wires)

 

 

pitot tube

 

and the flaps are back

 

 

Considered as FINISHED !!!

 

... and within 3 month!!! ... (really fast for me!!!)

(Doh ! I notice now... the 2 red wheel retraction things on the wings are still missing )

 

 

A little more will be posted in Ready for inspection

 

 

and this time :

 

THE END
