Wow excellent job! I love the fact that u finished it in olive drab camo instead of the all over black, it looks so much better. U should be very proud.

Jose, just an excellent build. Nice to see the O.D./Gray paint scheme rather then the more common all black one. I really like your paint and weathering, as they are very realistically done.

Fantastic job there, Jose! Though I'm no fan of weathering I must admit, it looks just right. A few years ago I've build "Lady Gen" out of the 40 years old Monogram kit, using Revell paints. I guess both kits are not really comparable. I plan to get the new GWH Black Widow with glas nose and paint it also in OD/NG as "Moonhappy". Congrats for the model of one of the greatest aicrafts ever built.

Torsten,
Now that should be one spectacular build to come down your assembly line. Looking forward to that presentation.
