Beautiful job on the wood effect, and I think your weathering is spot-on. The overall semi-gloss look is fantastic -- looks like a colorized photo from 1918. Thanks for sharing the model.

Well done Mike,

Lovely. That’s a kit I always wanted to build but it slipped through my fingers!

    This is spectacular work Mike, it's a really outstanding example of what we all strive to achieve. It's all there, incredible detail, skilled painting and just enough "grunge and wear' to give it a real look. Your efforts just keep getting better, and add a great deal to our Forum!
Cheers,
