Hello!

This project began as a fast build, in order to relax from a more complicated one

Oh Boy... i was so wrong...

First i added some rib detail to the undercarriage pits, and consequently to the gear legs.

Next was the cockpit with rib detail and eduard PE seat belts.

Then i bought a new airbrush and wanted to test it with weathering, so,
Despite this airframe was a prototype, and never achieved operational status,
i wethered it with a pinpoint oil wash, and the rest was airbrushed.

Hope you like it, criticyse at will!

PS. the pitot tube is already there...

















Best regards!

Hi José!

I think it looks superb!

The pictures are great too. I like the shot from behind which shows the nice dihedral of the wings. I think the weathering is just fine. I hope you will enter it in this month's MOM contest!
