Post by: drdave on December 10, 2013, 10:09:41 PM: A great kit. Imperfectly finished, but done none the less. Now to rest my poor nose!

;D

Post by: lcarroll on December 10, 2013, 11:09:14 PM: Very nice, Dave. The shading/weathering on the wheel covers is top notch and the colour scheme eye catching, and the rest of the weathering very real looking. I like what you've done with this Kit, congratulations on a beautiful Build.
Cheers,
Lance

Post by: stefanbuss on December 10, 2013, 11:10:55 PM: Apart from the scar on the propeller blade I can spot no major issue with that build. Beautifully done, especially the weathering on the spinner.

Post by: Russell on December 11, 2013, 01:12:26 AM: That looks very nice indeed.

I think you've turned a scale model into replica of the real thing with that great paint finish

Post by: Ernie on December 11, 2013, 02:13:05 AM: Super job, Dave. The paint and weathering is gorgeous. I like the chipping
on the spinner, as well as the "grass". Really nicely done. It was a very
good build log and hopefully you will have another for us to follow before long.

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Post by: coyotemagic on December 11, 2013, 03:19:32 AM: She's truly lovely, Dave! You say she's imperfectly finished, I say she's flawless. As I said earlier, the scheme is beautiful and very nicely executed. The weathering and shading are just right. I would be proud to show this one off in my display case.
Cheers,
Bud

Post by: petrov27 on December 11, 2013, 04:08:55 AM: Looks fantastic - great build - really nice to see one in silver! I have held out getting this kit but seeing another one built up so nice I may have to give in to the temptation...

Post by: lone modeller on December 12, 2013, 03:44:12 AM: Can I join in the chorus of praise - this is a really good model and I really like the aluminium dope finish. Problems? What problems? An excellent build which I would be proud of.

Just plotting my next. I've been bashing thru my ww2 stash so it's a Shturmovik next and then I'll break out another WNW. What'll it be.....?

Post by: mgunns on December 24, 2013, 05:55:54 AM: Hello Dr. Dave:

Neat looking model. Outstanding in every respect scar on prop notwithstanding. As mentioned, the grass on the base is neat too, nicely textured for a realistic affect. I bet painting the stripes on the cowling was challenging.

Best
