Marius, no fair shooting pics of real aircraft and passing them off as your work! LOL! :giggles: :lashed:

Seriously though, your work looks that realistic. I too want to set up a backdrop similar to that to shoot my models when they are completed. Someday maybe I will. Your work and your photography are phenomenal.

Went on with Hasegawa's Phantom.
I scratched a bit the wheel-bays because they were fully empty. Then a primer in black followed. Last work for today was application of very thin white. Like mottling....

And thanks for the nice words guys.

Yesterday night I colored the topside. It is Tamiya XF-20. But I am not happy. It seems too dark and too yellow compared to photos. Need to compare at daylight.

Which paint scheme is the Phantom going to be in?

Cool. Have you figured out why the XF-20 looks so... tan...? It looks like you wrote, that it is "yellow." It does! A problem with the paint?
