Hi Tuomas!

You are 13!? Really! I'm sure the kits I build at your age weren't as good as yours!
I agree with you, the weathering is a bit overdone... but when you think about it, a bomb could have exploded near the plane and dust then covered it. Anyway, I would clean your model a little bit though. It's too bad for the excellent work you did on the decals...
By the way, what paint did you use? And was the model airbrushed?

Same here jean-Luc
Hi Tuomas,
Usually the main problem with youngsters is their lack of patience, but I don't see this in your build, it looks nicely put together and the decals are well done. There are a few colour issues, mainly with the undercarriage and spinner, but you shouldn't worry about those (if you like though I can tell you the colour of these items for future reference?).
I think the main area of improvement would be to sort out whatever is causing the "white frosted" appearence, is it the matt coat? was it sprayed from an aerosol?
Nearly forgot, your antenna wire looks really good, what did you use?

Hi!

Yeah, I know the some colors are wrong. I have a something colorproblem in my eyes, when i was painting, i take wrong bottle... because its looks almost same what the right color was... :-)

Doing antenna wire i used fly-fishing line, its very stong and easy to use.

In weathering i use Mig-Productions pastels.

Cheers Tuomas
