Copy that, Thomas. Sitting here and resting my jaw on the keyboard while staring at this multi media magic. :shocked:

Go on, give us junks more of your stuff!

Thank you gents, your comments are really appreciated! I do need the motivation to finish this build and reading you helps! (That goes for all the preceding comments as well, thank you all!) See, I've been at it for over a year, off and on with other builds in between, and I want to get it done. Especially considering that the Falke is only the start of the project... Nuff said, back to work. That's real work in the real world, bench time is not before tonite! LOL

It is a outstanding piece of work! The cockpit is something to see. Very well done.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Found this one on a German forum the other day. Maybe you find it inspiring.

Thanks Lyle for the kind words!

Mostrich, thanks for the link. Had never seen this one before. I always like to see how others go about doing the kit I'm working on and never fail to pick up a trick or 2. This guy used an oil dot filter, which I just might do as well to give depth to the paint on the rather big and empty panels. In the meantime here is another update with more detailing.

Work on the exhausts. I originally painted the inside of the upper and lower exhausts black and thought I'd leave it at that.

Then I tackled the main exhaust, which is dismally bare, and decided I had to fill the empty space.

This is when AMS kicked in and I just had to detail the uppers and lowers too! :dancing:

In the end I'm happy I did. I think once painted it'll look the part.

This is exactly the stuff I love on our hobby. In the end those little things will make the difference.
Great work, Michel!
