and the rest is creative

and, have a look into the gear bays :pinch: :gogo

Just now had the chance to catch up with you Martin, there's real beauty in it's complexity isn't it? You're capturing it like a master, thanks for sharing with us Martin.

Awesome detail work!

 

[mlp]

Thanks a lot Gentlemen

Yesterday evening with a glass of wine I changed my mind. I will not do the the gear graves now. I'll do them, when the two halfes are glued togehter cause after that I'll have to do a massive sandman attack So next step will be the cockpit, which will be a lot of fun ....

climb in and feel comfortable .....

thanks for stepping by

 

[Sherman 18]

I'm enjoying your build.

 

[mlp]

Thanks Sherman

... and the saga goes on ....

and No - I have almost none ref material on this, so this is a pure imaginative dress up.

For those don't knowing Revel Aqua Base, I have used this now for all base coats on this bird and it works great. I does not smell and cleans with window cleaner (or water) - so I can recommend it. I just steered it well and used it without thinner in a 0.5 nozzle air brush.

[mlp]

[Kreighshoer]

all that lovely work and that is all one will be able to see later on?

that's close to insanity! (but that's the spirit!)

 

[mlp]

Thanks a lot Laura - well you will see a little more when looking from the side, so not everything was just for nuts

 

[jknaus]

Looking awesome. It's quite exciting to see how you go about improving on the kit and the inventive ways you use.

Hi Martin ,
very impressive build so far. Great imagination. Unfortunately we don't have Revell paints around these parts.

Cheers, Christian B)
