Awesome paint job, however it was done. Great model.

Paint job reminds me of those household paints that give you a crackle finish. Paint a picture frame gold. Then paint it with crackle black paint. The black paint dries and seperates leaving gold veins (crackles) running all through it. Kind of a neat effect really.

A bit like Jan's eyes on a Sunday morning then ?

Rather good. The base detracts slightly though I think.

Yeah you're right...it do!
Agree Terry. Nice one!

Very cool. But the detail work on the WWI crate is pretty nice. Airframe's noted it, but I bet that modeler was pissed off about the silvering of the fuselage crosses after such an effort. Rigging, rear gun, wing camo is just phenomenal... even with a little too much sheen.
But then again, my piddling model skills have never been guilty of such huge faults... I wish I were in this gent's class. Very impressive.

Didn't think that "Silvering" issue that both Terry and Matt mention seemed right...so I checked out the Wingnut Wings site for the kit and the fuselage crosses DO have a light coloured border it is not silvering, there is also a b/w photo of the subject aircraft showing this border!
Next up is a pair of Seafuries the first the Fisher Kit with the Larger '115' , the second the Hobbycraft Kit with the smaller '115'

Didn't think that would be silvering somehow, not after all the effort of the other stuff !
Like the Sea Furies, particularly the first one. But what's with the base again ?! Looks like someone got a job-lot of heat-resistant pan holders or table mats ! Really spoils the presentation.

probably the same modeller as the A-10 me thinks.....
that A-10 is very nice and makes me feel better about the colour of the bombs and such on mine as i thought they were a little too brown, but not now
Nice ones!

There just something about an A-10 that makes me take a deep breath. One did a "T" bone strafing demo at Livermore years ago. I've always fantasized about a home built composite with that same shape. Woohoo!!!!!
