Hi to you all, I finished this modell a few months before, but I didn't have time to post, so here it is now. Base is well known tamiya F84 G Thundejet in 1/48 scale, I didn't use any aftermarket set for this modell. all modifications all scratch.
The original on Čenej Airfield near Novi Sad, Serbia :

It is really a nice scale replica of the battered veteran.. I really like the effects, but I am specially interested (believe me or not!) how did you make such a beautiful leaves? It is really a nice detail that brings life to this small diorama. Not to mention the molls...
PS. Welcome on board!

Outstanding work! Those leaves caught my eye as well. And the canopy too, how did you do it? Meaning both the deteriorated and cloudy windows and the sections without the perspex panels, did you do it like I presume you did, cut off the clear portions from the kit canopy?

Thank you guys, here is a few words about the leaves. The leaves are made from the fruit of the Betula pendula three, the best time for collecting this fruit is in february, and all you have to do is it to gently twist the fruit between your fingers until it falls to a small parts and you got your leaves.
