This is looking really good Martin!

I love that defused look of the OD, really super job Martin!

 

[MM2CVS9]

Great job of paintwork on the canopy. I usually have too much bleed thru on the frame edges making it look amateurish.

 

[Paulw]

Real nicely done. Martin

 

[Big10]

That OD looks great. How is that kit?

 

[jeaton01]

Well done, Martin. It's a huge airplane next to an F-80.

 

[Impisi]

Thanks a lot Gentlemen

That OD looks great. How is that kit?

The kit is rather basic but not bad, fit is good. If you want more details i.e. inside the pit, you have get creative

True Details used to make a cockpit set that helps a lot. Wonder if the new Squadron has the rights to TD?

yep that's true and from images I've seen it does look quite nice. The only one I was able to lacate was that expensive that I decided to take it as guidance and doa litle myself.

 

[Iron Mike]

A fine looking machine! Nice work.

 

[rob hart]

Very nice! Great choice of subject that you rarely see being built.

Thanks Barney. I think you're mistaking me for someone else, I've been using airbrushes for 30+ years now and I use brushes alike, almost always both
