Man, you got to stop colorizing these historical photos of the actual aircraft structure and passing them off as your own!

Seriously Fermis, this looks tremendously realistic. It's unbelievable! I am truly looking forward to seeing more.

I can't wait to see the pit!

Woah, the detail on that thing is insane

Being New here at SPA Model, I have been checking out your work a great deal; and I am a huge fan as well as an eager learner. Thank you for your inspiration and insight into techniques, Fermis. This is a beautiful project!

So, are you building a model or an actual replica. This stuff looks great.

Looking ace, Fermis!

I wonder how you did this superb looking dusty impression? I have seen some cool builds of this kit, but yours is among the very best!

Thanks dudes!

"Phase 3"...probably the smallest "phase"...is done...








Here's something stupid.
They go through all the trouble to give you all this great detail....and there's separate engine covers for only the dumb end of the engine, and leave the smart end covered up...the end that has the most detail. Looks like I'll be doing some cutting and modification here.

I tinted some dull coat with a little bit of brown/tan.
With tinting clear paint, very little color goes out and it's a decent consistency...you don't get the problems that you would with very thin paint. It is very forgiving as well...you have to spray an area 3-4 times before you even begin to see the color...it's hard to overdo it!

So easy! Thank you for this, Fermis!!!

I'm running out of adjectives to describe your work Fermis. Well done!
