Chavdar,
That's one very nicely modeled 1/72 scale E-2 Hawkeye. Your weathering while not overly done, has created the look of a heavily used operational aircraft.

That's a beauty you have there, bud. Lots of details to look at.

That pin-up girl on the radome, your design, I presume?
Is she a Bulgarian starlet? or free hand?

Thank you Joel and Jonathan, I'm happy you like her
The hawkeye is very old model, I've painted years ago, with a few enamel revell paints that I had then. And now I've tried some techniques for weathering with oils and dry pastels, that I've used on the 1/144 F-14D. She is some kind of testing machine
Yes Jonathan, the girl on the radome is Bulgarian folk singer and it's not a decal, is free hand paint. If you interest I can explain the technique and if you can draw of free hand of course

Cheers fellas
