MaK 3000 anyone?

[superjedi]

Hi all,
I recently picked up a couple of the Ma.K. 3000 kits from eBay. The Nutrocker, and the Fledermaus, which I built first. These are excellent kits. I love the innovative designs and the whole alternate history concept.
The Fledermaus was finished in a splinter-camo scheme, using WWII RLM colors. Weathering was done with an X-acto blade and powdered pigments in several rust and dusty shades.
I also added a photo-etched seatbelt set (didn't really like the pilot) and some dry transfer data stencils from Hobby Link Japan.
This was a fun build and I'm already itching to start the Nutrocker.
Pics.

There are several more in my photobucket album. Feel free to check 'em out. And if anyone has any feedback on weathering, I'd love to hear it.
Thanks for looking.

I love that kit, I build it yeeears ago , and got me hooked on those kits,

you did a great paint job and the flaking paint looks great and not to obvious,
I painted mine a low vis grey/metal with some much needed
rust colors.

maybe the engine bells are a little bit clean , and add some more light weathering
around any in or out air vent.

Since you´ve built the falcon, you painting/ weathering skills are absolutely awesome.

Love it. I think the more MaK the merrier... build another.

Thanks guys. This was a really fun kit to build.
Markus, I think my Falcon used almost every weathering technique known to modeling science. . . it was certainly good practice.
