I built a plaque with grass, but it's certainly nothing fancy. Model sets in my case with the framed picture behind it.

Kevin,
  Anything but foolery on display here. Very nice, a real eye catcher and I really like the display plaque. Can you share the method you used for the "streaking"? I did this kit about 6 months ago and did mine by hand (acrylics over enamel) and it was a "bear". (MVR's 152/17) I hope to do Lothar's yellow beast soon, would really appreciate some hints on an alternative streaking technique.
Cheers,
Lance

 From what I've read, I didn't do anything unusual, just oils (with Liquin to spread more easily), over a Tamiya acrylic base coat. A semi damp/dry brush was then used to remove some paint here and there until I had an effect that I liked. I stripped all three wings after the first attempt, as I felt the brownish shade I had used was too dark.

Sounds like a class display adding a personal touch with the personnel in the photo. Good stuff.

Nothing to fret over the standard of this model - a really super build and very well painted.

Hi, FB,

Very nice work, with a real "Attaboy!" for the streaking finish. Congratulations on your hard work and excellent results!  :)

I'll echo the other comments here in saying that I think you've done a fine job here, particularly with your streaking and overall subdued appearance. I'm looking forward to seeing you complete a few more of these birds.

Cheers,

Chris
