Here is the second photo feature of Jean Barby (MS406C). This time he built the 1/32 scale Special Hobby Hawk H-75 kit in Finnish markings. Well done again Jean!

Beautiful work, Jean.

Too bad it's in the wrong scale though! It's not 1/48th!!!

Hi Jean

That's a great build! I bought the Peal Harbour version when it came out and, I hate to admit it got sidelined by a deluge of other releases and I've never even looked at it properly!

All the best

Hi Jean

very nice model!! Photography is also very good

I esp. like this



Do you use some kind of reflector?

Hope a good model of this subject will appear in 1/48 one day ... there are some nice French markings too...

Hello Steffen. no I did not used any reflector, all pics are under natural light then passed trought Photoshop for cleaning, framing, contrast etc...

Hope a good model of this subject will appear in 1/48 one day ... there are some nice French markings too...

hello Jean

many thanks for the answer. I though because of the good lighting below the wing. In that light conditions I often get very, very dark shadows.

BTW something with your profile seems to be wrong. Well, at least for my browser. The banner cannot be such a large picture. While it is nice to see you in person, this could also be posted in your workbench or gallery. Maybe one of the staff members (J-L??) can help you fixing that (or inform me that the error is on my end) . Thank you!

keep up your great work and post pictures

all the best

Hi Steffen,

I will try to do that. It's probably a problem with the profile indeed...

Jean,

How did I miss this model? It is excellent and I would like it even if it were not two of my favorite subjects: Curtiss Hawks and the Ilmavoimat!

Jean, Oh my!! The one word phrase: "Outstanding", just doesn't do your build justice. Justice is looking at the 1st few pictures, and thinking that this is the real deal. The build looks flawless, but the painting and weathering is just spectacular. Dead on.
