Is that a photo of the model, with photoshop'd sky, or a picture of the boxart?

Ok no jokes mate i thought that was the real thing when i saw that pic, only realized it was a kit until i read that you superimpozed it, WOW, that truly is an excellent job on both making your kit look realistic, and also photoshopping it perfectly!
cheers

Yes not only an excellent model, but also perfectly photographed ( lighting, shade and angle
) for the superimposing. impressive job.

Great sense of of looking down on the plane. The contrast between the colors is nice. Great job, Wingman out.

Sabi ko na nga ba hindi sila maniniwala na kit lang iyan eh. Maybe you could soften the pic so that the separation of the kit and background is reduced....just my two centavos... .
