So here's the plan, we're going to start giving the winners of events a trophy (1:48 scale static models) that go along with the particular event. All costs will be taken care of so don't worry about shipping etc... I'll post some of my work and if your intersted in having one made to your specs; ord(s) loadout, color scheme (doesn't have to be an AH skin that's entirely up to you) or certain squadron/pilot markings, control surface orientation, gear up/down, canopy open or closed, fresh out of the factory or whethred from use. Shoot me a pm and I can build you a one of a kind that I can promise nobody else will have.
I Been doing this all my life for fund raisers and competition, there isn't a ww2 plane I can't replicate. Down to the tiniest detail for instance rivets, paint chipping, panel lines, and especially the cockpit will be sure to amaze. One thing, I won't provide a pilot. Re-creating human skin never looks right. My processes take about a month for fighters and a bit longer (week or two) for bombers. I painstakingly buy the exact colors used by the military's of the day. No mixing paint and hoping it matches.
I have to dig up photos of old projects so look out for those. I believe the first is going to be a torpedo bomber in conjunction with next months torpedo tournement. AKKuya will be posting all the details and don't froget to check the event calandar and good luck! <S>
