Absolute beauty. That red silver combination is especially appealing.

   A real "eye catcher", great finish and a very nice model overall. One of the few Wingnut Kits I missed, and now regret!

Brilliant build there and in particular the finish is carried off to perfection - congrats on such a fine effort! What was your paint choice (brand/color) for the silver dope?

Thank you, its quite a striking scheme and this is intentional, as if the plane went down in the desert its alot easier to see red than silver

Thank you, The silver dope is my own mix of Tamiya flat aluminium mixed with either white and Extra dark sea grey for the wings or the Flat aluminium and white for the fuselage. The cowling is AK extreme aluminium

Love the bright colour scheme on your beautiful model. It must look very striking and have great presence on display.

I have long had a soft spot for the Nine Ack and your model demonstrates perfectly why. A colourful scheme and well executed paint finish on a magnificent model. I am envious of that....!
