I especially like the weathering on the nose where you dirtied up the white. Looks like an in-service jet. Thanks, I prefer a "dirty birdy," and shy away from builds that are too clean. I also weathered the underside with pigments. 16 hours ago, Jack said: haha, no worries Bill, i figured as much, could have gone the same way........ 11 hours ago, MikeMaben said: Nice one Bill Jack, it's embarrassing. Mike, thanks! 6 hours ago, Kagemusha said: Very nice Starfighter Bill, the first thing I noticed was the painted over windows - sometimes you're just drawn to these things - looking forward to the re-shoot! 6 hours ago, reconspit said: ...absolutely cool..., and I sure love those markings... Danke schoen! 5 hours ago, dodgem37 said: Great show, Bill. Love what you've done. I imagine it took forever and a day to place those stencils. Sincerely, Mark The stencils take more work than the painting which is pretty easy with a Marineflieger aircraft. 4 hours ago, Eagle Driver said: Always a pleasure to see another Cacciatore Stellare Grazie! The kit has abundant Italian markings (not surprising, since it's Italeri). Eagle Driver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STWilliams Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 The weathering is first rate - although "factory fresh" looking models have a place, they are only representative of a brand-new aeroplane. Yours looks like an aeroplane that flew in Europe weather at 1,500 mph. Bill Cross 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Mooney Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Now that's something different and really well done. Great colours and love the way the orange has come out, it looks really realistic. Bill Cross 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
