This was a neat kit to build. It really went together well. It is OOB. I airbrushed it but had problems so I stripped it and brush-painted it using Citadel Tin Bits, thinned down. I used black tempera paint for the panel lines and to give it a “dull” look for weathering. I’m sure it doesn’t meet the Trumpeter “Bear” standards but I enjoyed it anyway. I added the only other 1/144 kits I have done for scale. Got a lot more coming. Here’s the pics. I tried to get low on a couple so it would give a view if you were standing near it. Key word is tried. [;)]

I think she turned out really well. I’d never have tried to brush paint NM like that but it looks flawless from here.

Must be a big model even in 1/144th scale. I’d assume the F-4 and F-14 are about 3-4inches/5-8cms long?

Nice work on the Bear. Looks huge, even for 1/144.
