I always admire the detail you can put into a kit this scale.... Excellent folded bird sir!

Where to start???...the canopy work is simply amazing, and cutting the corrugated kit wings up and folding them, along with the observer hatch underneath, is simply pushing the limits in 1/72nd scale modeling. The finish is sublime...
...this is an incredible build...

Ever thought about makin' a diploma in surgery? Heard it's a well payed job.
You are one of those rare modelers who can attract me to the small scale. Not enough to cross the line but close...
Great build, Fermis!

How'd you replicate the wood grain on the torp fin and is this scheme based on a real aircraft...???

Wood grain was kinda accidental...starting with white styrene, I brushed on "Italian Sand", as I continued to brush, it got kinda steaky...looked good to me! Let that dry, then dry(ish) brushed streaks of "Rust"...that's it!
...and...
Yes...

Everything about this build is just spot on. I really like the weathered look. gosh, it would nice to get a photo of it with a carrier deck as background
