SPA Modeler

There will be 3 (I'll get the 3rd caught up, once the missing sprue shows up....tentatively on Monday). 2 will be OOB, the other is getting tricked out with an opened up engine, gun bay, and flaps.





I've got about 15 hours into this, so far. Will add more plumbing and wiring once it's attached to the firewall and in the fuselage.









(I think this black backdrop is way better than the blue I used to use!)

Holy Crap! That look simply awesome! Yeah, the black background does make the details pop out better.

Damn fine job on the penny, too! The black seems to work pretty good. Amazing detail so far.

Dang, that's one giant penny you've got there!!

wow

Mr. Lincoln looks impressed. Me too!

A black backdrop is great to let details pop more out, but it's absorbing a lot of light, too. A stronger light or a longer exposure time can compansate that effect. Don't get me wrong, your pics are good, but a bit on the dark side (ugh, damn SW again...).

Masterpiece !

I just use my cell phone for pics, then I can upload directly to P/B.
Black background and the flash seems to get the best resluts for what I have.
It did make the pits look kinda purple though.

I take a guess here: it´s an Eduard kit so the engine could be included in the kit as seen on the pictures. Knowing Fermis a little bit he surely has added a lot of plumbing and hoses to the kit parts.

@ Fermis: the front gear box should be black, not blue...
