Truly remarkable how closely the oil staining and wear match the photo, right down to the wear on the cross. A moment in time recreated to scale.

Well, I am just the "post-the-photos-guy" in this thread, but I can say I really admire the way Sergey is able to reproduce the real look of the aircraft.

Unfortunately, the perception of colours he has is beyond my mental skills. Nevertheless, his work is really astonishing.

Cheers

Love it, absolutely authentic weathering.
The linen structure of the fuselage looks absolutely convincing in my eyes.

The painting, in particular the staining, engine and prop are phenomenal!
