What a gorgeous build. I’m really becoming a big fan of your work and can’t wait for some updates in the other WIP’s.

 

Keep up the great work,

Chuck.

 

Thanks Chuck!  I'm trying to get some momentum on the other two builds and I'll be posting some updates soon!

Great to see it finished, though I thoroughly enjoyed the build, so much to enjoy; subject, markings, execution, and I don't think I've seen a better model.

 

Thank you Kagemusha!  One of my favorite movies, BTW!  I'm a big Nakadai Tatsuya fan. 

 

It was a fun one!  Mostly because the Tamiya kit is so well engineered that most of the things I normally associate with "modeling" such as trimming, sanding, filling and sanding were minimized and I was able to concentrate on other things for a change.

Looking forward to the updates in the other builds!

 

Yes, I'm able to devote more time to the Ta152H-0 and Bf109G-6/AS builds now.

good grief thats beautiful, congratulations what a build

 

Thank you Rob!  The finished photos were taken with a Canon 5DMkIV/EF24-105f/4L IS.  No flash, no external light sources... just ambient outdoor lighting.

I don't even have words. What a stunning piece of craftmanship. We are not worthy

 

Thank you!  Yes, we are all worthy!  I'm just like everyone else here... someone who enjoys to build plastic models!  I'm glad to have a community that I can share and learn from.

Outstanding attention to detail, color, weathering, and authenticity! That belongs in a museum. You’ve shown just how good the Tamiya kit can become.

 

Cheers,  Tom

Incredible model. A true inspiration. 

 

 

Thank you for the nice comments!  The Tamiya kit is indeed outstanding and, as far as I am concerned, befitting of the title of the best model kit available today.

Agreed!I missed the RFI on this one and it was worth the wait. Super impressive! 

 

Thanks for waiting, Brian!  The Tamiya kit gave me no problems whatsoever so even though I took a break from modeling this summer, I KNEW in the back of my mind that it would be completed for sure.

Very nice recreation of the real aircraft, 3D historical art at it’s best.

 

Thank you!  Modeling is a very educational exercise and I learned alot as I went through this build.  Like the realization that this aircraft had no cockpit floor!
