Borys,
Excellent work! I particularly appreciate the Chinese Nationalist subject: had I not read the book The Ragged, Rugged Warriors by Martin Caidin (New York: Ballantine, 1978. ISBN 0-345-28302-3 {an awesome read and re-read!!}, I probably would never have developed an interest in aviation.
Hope to see more of your work soon!

Great looking model. I got interested in the Hs 123 when someone from another site I visit built one in MTO colors. I'm guessing the markings are all custom?

What weathering techniques did you use? looks great, is airbrushing on a faded color the secret to authentic weathering? then the washes ECT?

Beautifully weathered. Gorgeous looking build of an interesting looking aircraft.
