Junkers J.I - 1/72nd scale Eduard non profi-pak kit
« on: August 02, 2022, 02:34:36 AM »
I didn't get it done for IPMS-USA Nationals, but I'm glad I didn't.  I was able to spend some quality time with it wrapping it up instead of rushing it.  This is my first concentrated attempt at weathering a WWI airplane.  It may have turned out more artistic than realistic, but I'm mildly pleased with the results.  It was built out of the box and brush painted.

What Zac said.

It's a very striking scheme.

Looks convincing to me: many of those aircraft looked a good deal dirtier than we modellers allow. Congratulations on completing another shelf queen.

I really appreciate all the kind words.  You guys are the best.

I need to work on my lighting, but here are some booth shots.
