Superb Nuke.

Are the instrument panels decals or did you paint them?

Update.

Most of this pic forward of the cockpit will not be visible in the end, but I wanted to get it at least descent should someone like Martlet blows the model up a few years from now :)


The motor of the kit was a little rough in the fit , but next is the fun part....

ty buddy and tell the boys I said thanks.

The model is actually a huge model, it's 1/24th scale..... twice as large as I usually make. I've made a couple of 1/32nd as a kid, but never one this large.


The instrument panel is about the 3/4th the size of a quarter.

Nuke, MOST impressive especially with the quarter for scale. Do you do any work for mueum display?

Ya know, I was thinking about the fact that you're going through all that work painting things that are going to end up getting covered.

Strange....

But then I thought about the whole project itself. A plane that your friends won't understand and are really not going to give a crap about...

...and in all likelihood your wife would roll her eyes at... but will reluctantly let you place on a shelf despite the fact that it runs counter to her grand decor plans for the room.

They'll all see this thing, and file it under "plane".

But when you look at it, you'll always "see" the detail under the exterior as immediately as if that engine were glued to the wing.

So, totally worth it.

Good job Nuke.

Nuke,
Absolutely awesome!!! You've got talent :)
