If it was 1/48 it would be amazing

But it's in 1/72, so that means that it's OUTSTANDING

Absouletly beautiful One of my favourite planes of the great war, and very very well done in 1:72. If you'd said it was 1:32 I would have belived it!!!

Impressed Regards

One word - awesome. I actually wanted to use two words but the other one was not family friendly

My six is well and truly bullet ridden...!

Peter,
Great work. Did you use thinned acrylics, oils, or pastels to achieve the soiled and weathered clear doped linen? Please describe your technique. Thank you.

The struct use masking tape.
I use strong thinned gunze hobby color.
The color is my dust colors. Ligth-yellow, and yellow-grayish.
All painting make with free-hand, with airbrush.
I not use special technique.

(Sorry, my english not good.)
