[Wayne Little]

[rochie]

wow

 

[Airframes]

Both very nicely done, especially the Ki-84.

 

[Catch22]

Very cool, love that plane!

 

[imalko]

Looks great!

 

[A4K]

With Igor! Reckon a diorama would enhance it much better than the mirror though.

 

[Gnomey]

WOW! That is a nice model, weathering is excellent.

 

[TimEwers]

What color of brown is that? as that is the second Japanese plane I have seen painted up with that color. Seen a Oscar done up that way not as heavily weathered but still looking like the same shade of brown.

 

[Shinpachi]

Oh Jesus. What a historical scene of Ki-84 with the ROC marking!
Thanks for sharing, Wayne!

Late war Colour for Japanese Army aircraft were painted in an Olive Drab colour which had a wide range of variation depending on interpretation and sources of info, from a dark green to brown shades...

Moving on Wing Nuts Wings Gotha Bomber, this did look rather nice and got commended.

 

[Airframes]

The Gotha is a beaut - even if they were the first fixed-wing aircraft to bomb London!

 

[A4K]

My great grandmother explained when I was a kid that a family relative was one of the first civilian victims of that first raid on London. Apparently when the first bomb went off, they lost their footing on the stairs in shock, fell and broke their neck... (would have been interesting to find out who that was and the date...)

Great looking model in any case!

 

[Catch22]

Wow, very cool!

 

[rochie]

fantastic

 

[Gnomey]

Very nice!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Sorry I'm late. CONGRATS WAYNE!!!!!!! And it looks like there was some stiff competition to boot.

 

[Wildcat]

Impressive!

 

[Wayne Little]

Next up a Bf109K-4, same modeller as the D-9, this one was Commended also.

 

[Airframes]

Maybe a tad heavy on the panel line weathering, but very nicely done. Can see why it was commended.
