This is my 2nd jet in 1/48. I built it out of box with no extra resin parts or PE. The model is missing gear decals ( carpet monster ate it). Here are some pictures

Great build and great pics as well, together with Hasegawas Bf 109G in 1/32 the nicest kit to assemble in my opinion.
The last picture is truly awesome

Looks like you have done a great job with this very recent release from Revell of Germany. One question is the canopy out of kilter in the last picture or is it just the picture?

Thank you guys.

Darren,
I think the canopy is off balance when I move it to take pictures since it's not glued to the plane.

I don't know why so many people seem to think that they have to apologize if they don't add any AM parts to a build. It's the final presentation that counts.

Your OOB build looks rock solid. Expertly painted and decaled. Your weathering is on the soft side, but one certainly can see the variation in dark gray tones. I would think that in person it's much easier to see. I Also really like how you did the exhaust cans both inside and outside, with various metalizer tones and dry brushing. They certainly look realistic.

My only suggestion if at all possible depending on the type of camera you used, is to increase the depth of field, and change your focal point if necessary, as some of your close-ups have DOF issues. Other then that, it's an excellent Aeroscale presentation.

I am in the process of writing a review for Aeroscale on this model, may I use some of your images in the review?

Joel, thanks for the suggestions. I think I need to switch my camera to manual focusing next time and increase the depth of field as well to get better pictures.

Darren,
Please feel free to use the images for your review.
