Great job it looks great!!!

as for Sacrecrow Joe dumb comment, nobody put him down we took the time to read and look at his work and give our opinion and as a result his model looks a ton better won't you agree? so you mean its better to lie! the "its just a model" is not the way of thinking in my book, if everybody thinks like you we would still be stuck in the prehistoric era, always push your limits knowing that you did the best of your abilities.

Yes you did, and you know it and its not the first time either. You wanted, as most times you love to do, to show how magnificent and perfect your work is and how much you "think" you know. Is for people like you that an ignore button exist.

Im glad the OP got the result he wanted. Thats why I said he should took his time with it. Good luck man!

You are one frustrated dude! Yes Im proud to show my work and share, like many I appreciate seeing other talented peoples work which inspires me, if you have a problem with it look elsewhere, can't believe I'm actually wasting my time with ignorant people like you.

So got it all painted white and then painted in the square panels over it. Was a bit tricky trying to match the color just right. Between the 2 studio models, the smaller one has a more goldish color to it, but I matched it more to the bigger model.

Then I started the weathering. For now, I'm just doing very light gray over it all. I'll add the streaks and other details later on. My work area is in another room from this computer with the studio model pics, so I have to keep going back and forth. I already see a few more parts that could be a bit darker. Trying to get a good picture isn't easy, as too much flash totally washes out the weathering.

I at some point accidentally broke off the 2 guns on the back, not sure how I'll fix that yet.

Can't see the weathering much on this pic, but it needs more anyways.

Looks great! I think I saw somewhere a kit to complete the cabin's interior?

Thanks. I didn't even do the cockpit detail, as I'm covering it with the black painted window. Figure I'd save those parts if ever needed for future models.

That cockpit does look nice, but 80 is quite a lot for just such a small part. Only paid 40 for the whole kit. I have started the streak weathing and its looking really good. I'm going with the more realistic way of things and that means having the streaks go up the wings.
BTW, you said you would be doing this model soon. Have you bought it yet?
