Very nice indeed! That's the chap of 'The Little Prince' I believe. There was a drama documentary about him being shot down, here on the forum, about a year or so ago.

You are a master of weathering NMF, bravo!

That's superb, you've obviously put a ton of work into that. Looks like you've added rivets as well as re-scribed, and the weathering is exceptional. Outstanding.

That is a magnificent piece of work Veverica, really well finished and weathered to a captivating level. Well done, and please post more photos if you have any.

Hello !
Thanks to all of you. Hereby the full process hoping that it will not be to boring !
Painted genuine cockpit
Front undecarriage
Completed undercarriage
Main doors and tanks
Reshaped spinners
New airbrakes
Rescribing panel lines and riveting the airframe
Cutting the original nose to replace it by a reco version
Filling the leading wing edge
The reco nose...
You can see how much the fitting is poor...
Pain starts !
Filling the gaps on the airframe. Long job...
Sanding the nose and creating the airframe of the front camera window.
The inner airframe shows some minor improvments on the undecarriage bays
General sandin done !
First color coats to check the quality of the work
Bare metal coat and first post shading simulating dirt and dust
Then you put national french insignias (Third Group Decals sheet for GR 33 Squad over Corsica...)
Nose seems to be OK !
Some night views... You can notice how the Bare metal finish reacts with different light.
The the job was finished by adding chalks, inks, pencil work... No varnish.
Hope you are still here and see you quick with other finished stuff .
Bye for now,

Exceptionally well done, and one of the most natural looking bare metal finishes I've seen.
Outstanding!

How did I miss this thread. That is a wonderful metal finish effect. World class that is.
