Artur:

Your TigerShark looks to be very well done. I'm just an armor guy, but the paint job, panel lines, weathering, weapons load, canopy, all look to be spot on! Neat aircraft!

Good stuff here.

Nice job. Even through the blurry photos (which will get better ) it looks great. I love the pose of the pilot. Can't wait to see the completed diorama.

No real prob with the pics, they work just fine. The model looks great, super paint job, looks like really good construction. Quick comment...and maybe it's just the pictures...Check the alignment on your canopy. It seems to be canted off to the port side (pilot's left).

Ah the F-20, one my all time favorite birds. Good job Artur. I can hear the pilot telling the mechanic "I tell you somethings wrong with my engine. I got passed by a Snow Goose!!! And he was laughing at me!!"

:-) Artur, loverrrrrrrrrrly Tigershark, very nicely done
I think I might have a few tips for taking simple digital pictures, utilising the sun indoors (sounds dangerous) but will help your well built models stand out. My youngest daughter is into photography and gave me the ideas. I'll send in a short feature, hopefully it will compliment the others on digital photography.
Well done Artur, can't wait to see the F-18 :-)

wonder how you painted that tiny figure


1.First I brushed Helmet - and mask it using food foil ( AirBrush)
2.Brushed whole figure (Air Brush)
3.Using PaintBrush - painted - Jacket , Badges , AirPipe with Mask - for Glass Helmet I used Chrome Silver - under , and Smoke -clear -top
4. For Details like Heart , Wheathering Helmet ( whole figure )- I used pastels and ink (very good method )

I have some pics of F-18 - and another Pilot figure - but quality is not very good .

I love it .What a chance the USAF pasted up for a great Aircraft. I like the operational look.One minor item the white F-20 maybe do it in grey.
