leoasman Posted August 11, 2020 Posted August 11, 2020 Completed today and hung up in the back of my display case. Overall, a lot of fun to build. I really didn't run into many issues along the way. I did take some shortcuts on the interior as I knew it wouldn't be visible in the end. I added some waist/belly windows and also eliminated the ball turret and instead added a tunnel gun. Hope you enjoy! rafju, The Madhatter, KUROK and 30 others 33

It’s just Tamiya XF-15 Flat Flesh. I lightened it up a bit for the elevators and the ailerons. Otherwise, straight from the bottle. I did use some oil filters to modulate the tone during weathering.

rigor Posted August 11, 2020 Posted August 11, 2020 Be cool if you painted a landscape where it's hanging Kagemusha, Troy Molitor, leoasman and 1 other 4

leoasman Posted August 12, 2020 Author Posted August 12, 2020 That’s a very cool idea! Not sure where I could find a pic like that with high enough resolution... Out2gtcha and Troy Molitor 2
ChuckD Posted August 12, 2020 Posted August 12, 2020 You completed that monster and we only got five pics?? Looks wonderful! I'd love to see more (and yes, I did follow the build thread). Troy Molitor, leoasman and Kagemusha 3

If the bomber was flying at low level at attack speed, it likely would be a bit blurred anyway leoasman and rigor 2
Troy Molitor Posted August 12, 2020 Posted August 12, 2020 Cracking results. Most impressive efforts all the way around. Love the idea of a back ground too, in the display area. Most impressive. leoasman 1
