Hello,

This is a kind of very different approach of modeling. Repainting hudge toys, like this 21st Century Dora in 1/18 st scale from China.
The challenge was to try giving in him some operational look, but with keeping its original weak points (no sanding, no extra details, except the seat belts). Somehow you may notice that the most unanthentic features is the position of the gear struts because they are originaly functional !
Anyway, I would like to emphasize with this topic a crucial point to me in modern " modeling". The paint and the weathering process that could, if you you try, transform any replica in something close to reality or what you think of it.
Let me know !
Cheers

I think you did a pretty good job of weathering it and adding that certain lived in look to it. You handled the seam on the leading edge of the wing well, and toned down the brightness of the pre-painted camo. Overall I like it. "Q"
