This image benefits from shrinking down to original resolution. Remember... the [ i m a g e ] tag will stretch any image to a default width (about 1000 pixels I think), which is good for most pics. However, you might get severe pixelation if you do it to a very small photo. In those cases, I would recommend using the [ i m g ] tag instead, which uses whatever reso the photo was uploaded at.

This too, like the Stuka, is an ambitious project. I’m glad it’s 1:48 though.

Not gonna lie. I LOVE this part, beating the absolute shit out of an airplane.
And I also always enjoyed this song. Ever since I was a little kid:

Very nice indeed - coloured pencil?
So what's next - clear coat and then a wash?!

Yessir! My 1:48 Weapon of Choice: Prismacolor Silver.
And you got it my man. Gloss coat, IP decal installation, and then wash.

Looks good. All it needs is a harness now.
And if I may offer a suggestion for future projects. If you look at the seat in the close up shots, the side edges appear way too thick for scale. If you’re not planning to replace the kit seat with a resin or PE seat, or some other way, one thing you can do is to sand down the outer sides to give a better scale appearance.

Thank you sir!
The kit comes with a harness, it’s a decal, not the Beautiful PE which Eduard has spoiled me with, but it’ll do. I’m gonna gloss all this stuff here in a little while, and apply it and the washes after that.
And thank you for the good word on the seat sanding. I didn’t even know that was an issue. Next build, DEFINITELY.
