great job on the rigging but wonder if they could have toned them down a bit, they sure stand out !!!

Nice. Perhaps again a bit heavy and, as Karl observed, prominent rigging - but well done and a lot of fiddly work!
It'll be a sod to keep clean without damage !!

Looks to be the same guy. I think if the rigging were darkened a bit it would improve the look a lot.
Good one!

Tend to agree with all, but full marks for the complexity of the rigging.

Now that I look at it further, I have to say that is phenomenal work. The comment about the rigging "standing out" is spot on. I'm a novice in rigging, but my Walrus that I did with surger thread, I painted black. Mistake. I think this more accomplished gent did just the opposite and made the rigging color too bright. I have convinced myself that the scale warrants a light-to-medium grey (with perhaps some silver) to make the cables look good for 1/72nd rigging. My hat off the to modeler!

Striking Italian colours, playing with those myself at the moment.
Very nice!

Nice. Canopy framing seems a bit 'heavy' though.

Nice looking build but have the feeling the external tanks are just a tad too far out on the wing tip. Could be wrong though.
like that one better

Yep, I think it's better than the F84 - nice.

Agree. F-84 is too antiseptic... too clean for the scale. It "looks" like a model. A very well executed paint job though.
Good one!
