Love the camo! Beautifully done!

Extremely glad to know that! :) Man, if I managed to paint what you accomplished, I'd be satisfied. Sometimes we judge ourselves too hard. But, I guess it explains how we improve our skills. Beautifully done my man!

My apologies if my comment was taken in a bad way. I did not mean to stir the pot. I admit the only real benefit with hollow exhausts at this scale is whether you are wearing an optivisor or shooting detailed photographs of the area. Seeing your photos, I agree you taking the time to do so...

Bravo! Fantastic! I really like the job you did on the engine. If you don't mind, I'm hoping to use your work on the engine as a blue print...I hate searching for photos. Your work here has inspired me to resume work on my Zvezda kits... The conversation in this thread about hollowing out...

Beautiful! Great job on the mottle! :)

Man, I'm glad I caught this build. Congrats on your well deserved win. Your detail paint work at this scale is just phenomenal! Not to mention the 1/144 scale Zero...masking that canopy was already quite a feat, and I'm simply stumped by the antenna wire you rigged. I can't figure out how...

Wow, this is a real eye popper. Awesome airbrush work!!! I can say viewing your work inspires and makes me feel like building again. :)

For me, I found practicing on cardboard is not the best way to practice because it doesn't mimic the feel of spraying on plastic. Cardboard soaks in water, so spraying fine lines is easy vs. plastic repels water, so it requires more control and precise mixing of paint and air pressure to avoid...

US involvement is interesting. Especially considering the documentary that is out on TWA Flight 800. Filmmaker asserts new evidence on crash of TWA Flight 800 - CNN.com The Missiles That Brought Down TWA Flight 800 Washington's Blog

Thanks very much for the info! Next time I get around to doing a NMF I will use your method. :thumbleft:

Wow, beautiful work! Really love your weathing! Can I ask whether you use any kind of sealer over the decals? I have limited experience with Alclad painting jet exhausts. I sprayed clear paint over part of an exhuast once, and the clear paint ruined the natural metal finish and made it...

I've had the white haze happen to me a few times too. I spray another coat of Future thinned with Windex and alcohol and it sometimes removes or reduces the white haze. Now I always make it a point to measure the ratio. Here's some info I found on the internet...

This was a great read alright! Love your attention to detail. Fine job!

Inspiring work!

Yes, nice job on the cockpit!
