Diego Quijano Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Built almost OOB, I only aded the rivets, MG barrels, antenna wire and landing gear wires. The hangar deck catapult base is made from scratch with styrene pieces. For the heavy weathering I used oil and enamel products.

turnerdad Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I know it's not particularly detailed by your standards Diego, but it is still one of the best models I've ever seen, beautifully balanced and so full of life and character. Inspirational and a level of modelling to aspire to. I'm humbled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
