I ended up taking a few liberties with a bit of the detail but all in all I'm pretty pleased how it turned out for a 1:72 Scale Revell kit. My collection of night figters is growing.

One of the liberties I took. From what I could find the dampers were just stainless steel and usually painted over. I figure since paint don't stick to stainless very well never mind hot, that would be how they would look after a while. I tried making them look blueish like stainless would look but it just didn't look right so lets say they are just steel. The Revell kit the chin hatch is separate. Lots of the pics I found show it open with a ladder coming out of it. I couldn't find a good picture of the ladder instal so I didn't put one in.
I'm not entirely happy with the mottled paint, my air brush was having a pissy fit but I went with anyways and it doesn't look to bad, I wasn't into re doing it !
 
Amazing work!!! Congrats!

I once tried a Ju 88a from Revel, too.
The result was worse then terrible...

:pukeright:

Hardly worse than terrible ! Needs a bit of fine tuning but that comes with practice and experience, ( doesn't everything !) all in all looks pretty good. It's a hell of a lot better than some of my early attempts ! Keep at it !
 
Pisis that is NOT a crappy job. Like me, you are perhaps jaded with the amount of sheer modeling talent by the forum members. Remind yourself that you are leaps and bound better than the average modeler. You just tend to hand around true artists, of which I aspire to be one.
