hasegawa, quarter…please comment…
Wow, Eric Von that is a truely nice piece of work! P-63 right? What company? Again beautiful!
amazing, your modeling and photography are excellent.
Very nice.
What paints do you use and finish with?
Truly very nice work. My personal opinion is that the panel lines are over done (I am from the less is more crowd here) but very nice. The important thing here is fun and what looks good to the builder’s eye though. You really do very good work Eric, excellent detail in the pit. If you enjoy building them as much as we enjoy looking at them, you are a very blessed modeler.
Yet another quality build Manny. And look at how many Ruskys he shot down lol. Keep em coming (You have more right?)
…Guy
Yeah, those russkie kill markers kinda add some confusion.[;)]
You have a good eye for detail, dude. Looks great! Being a red star fighter, though, I’d like to see some DIRT. If it flew it was good enough for the Russkies, damn the paint.
Stop it, you’re killing me! I can’t compete! Excellent, like all your others!! Love the P-39. It’s just so cool looking!
…yeah, those Russians had a strange way of signifying kills…the US hated the Aircobra but due to the airwar being fought at lower altitudes on the Ost front, it was fairly effective in that theatre, especially in the ground attack role…a lot of commies made ace in that plane…
Wow! That is some truly incredible work! The detail is most impressive. This is the kind of build that really inspires me in my own efforts. Also, fantasic work with the photography.
From a purely personal preference standpoint I would probably agree with another poster who mentioned that the panel lines could be slightly less pronounced. Also, I might like to see a bit more in the way of weathering, exhaust residue, etc.
I look forward to enjoying much more of your work!
Actually the Soviets would never profane their aircraft with swastikas so they marked kills with red stars.
I suppose it’s akin to the way American football players often use their own mini logo for the same purpose (Ohio State University, for example, uses small buckeye stickers) to denote things like quarterback sacks, touchdowns, interceptions, etc.
…good analogy…
