Excellent work Serpiko! this is a wonderful build

I like how you brought out the panel lines and the weathering look on the plane, looking real good there Serpiko, am enjoying your updates on this build very much

Very nice update, your painting looks real thanks to your weathering !!! Can you explain how you did it, still with eye pencil ?

It looks fantastic, you might present it to a contest when it will be finished !!! 8)

Hey guys,

Have a look at this : http://www.scalemodelnews.com/2012/05/big-bomber-kit-132-scale-b-25j-mitchell.html, there are 500.000 Rivets on that B25, and more on that B17 !!! http://www.themodellingnews.com/2013/03/now-this-is-large-scale-modelling-folks.html

CHEERS !

Hi Ted, everything's fine. :wink:

Actually, I took pictures of the various steps and I'm going to post here a sort of tutorial. I have no airbrush nor special modeling equipment, and I want to "share my tricks" in order to show that, with a little practice and patience, people can make nice looking models with simple hand brushes and common tools.

It's mostly done, but still missing the part about post-decals weathering and final coat (because I haven't done that on my model yet! :oops: ). Should I post it now, and later finish?

Thank you all for your appreciation! :mrgreen:

Of course it will! Bay doors are fixed, you can only build them either open or closed. And after all the work on the interior, I'm definitely not going to hide it!

Thank you all for your appreciation!
