Many thanks Nigel and Ernie. I tried some new paint and some new painting techniques on this one and was pretty happy with how it turned out.

Mark,
   Spectacular work! That instrument panel is absolutely a perfect job, and the rigging as good as I've seen. What did you use for the bungees on the Foster Mount? It's a perfect rendition  and some of the extra efforts that make this model really stand out.
Cheers, and WELL DONE,
Lance

Thanks Lance, the bungee is copper wire painted after installation.

Absolutely stunning, Mark!  Your shading is magnificent and the colors you've chosen look perfect to my eye.  What paints did you use?
Cheers,

Beautiful! Fine shading, delicate wash... That is a WNW kit style I like most!

Thanks guys!

@ Bud - I mixed Tamiya paints to get the green color, I'm really getting into mixing up my own colors now.

I agree as usual with my Amigo Bud! Such OUTSTANDING work Mark! Shows what top notch modeling can do to enhance even WNW kits!

Thanks Rick and Patrick. I was super excited when WnW announced this kit.  Never in my wildest dream would I have thought someone would release a 1/32 Ninak. I look forward the the "late" version release.

Hi Mark:

I remember talking about this and here it is.  Just an outstanding build.  Glad you finished it and it really is a stunner of a build.  You can't really see it, but; I know you did the microsculpt fabric on the interior and the little bit of picture shows it.  Great job Mark.
Thanks for posting it here.

Best

Mark
