Holy moly… has it been along time since I’ve posted an A/C here. So long that I only recgocnise few names any more.

This was built for the “Mighty Mini’s GB! 1/144 scale” hosted by MikeyBugs95. More pics at the link.

Boy thats beautiful! All weathered up and everything. I can hardly achieve that look in 1/48. Great work!

I remember some of your mini-scale armor builds from the past. But I think this is the first aircraft that I’ve seen you do. Excellent job!!! So tell me, what do you use for antenna in 1/144? Nanofibers?

And please don’t tell me that you have displayed the model on a cap to a bottle of Coca-Cola. Sure looks like it… [:D[[:D[[:D[

Wonderful!

Thanks guys. It was a fun little project.

Don, you mean the Peanut Butter Panzers. I was just thinking of those not too long ago. got a couple of those planned soon. Since this is also a peanut butter jar lid I guess this can be a Peanut Butter Plane. I’ll have to do a whole series of these too[whstl]

Yes!! That was it! I knew that you used the tops of some common food to present your models. Peanut butter jars. I underestimated a bit with a Coke lid, but if you ever start modeling at that scale, I will simply [:D[[:D[

Sorry Don I missed the question about the antenna. It’s made from EZ Line. If stretch it real fast when it spots the end frays. Grab one of the fibers and you can pull a long piece of the original piece. I did this one twice and got a super thin fiber that keeps the same stretch quality.

Stop showing off!!! [:@]

Thanks Mike. Err… I think[8-)]

Yeah! What he said!!

Really though, wow! Unbelievable work in such a tiny scale!

11

Thanks Eric

12

Very impressive! Looks like a tamiya paint cap for the diorama!

13

Thanks panzer. The thought of a plane small enough to fit on a Tamiya cap is scary. I’ll stick with peanut butter jars.[;)]

14

I would have to work with a visor with a 4.5x to do work like this and never get rid of the headache! Really nice wingnut!!!

15

Nice change of pace Marc,looks really great,like that micro armor you did a couple of years ago.

Next time someone says how nice a 72nd build looks, I will give them the link to this page. That’s a really nice build.
