Great model, and even better pix. With the backdrop the second picture looks like it's real. Thanks for sharing.

C'mon. The top picture CAN'T be the model!! If it is, you can paint figures better than anyone I've ever seen!! Great-looking model!! One difference that I did notice was that the top picture showed red wheels, but the model has green wheels. Not that I'm a RIVET COUNTER or anything..................

Hi Gary, thanks for the kind words! On closer inspection, the wheels on the actual A/C are red....how'd I miss that!? I did mine with aluminum and a wash of burnt umber, I thought Gentile's were just dirty!! Mine do look kinda green in the pics, I guess, but they're "dirty aluminum". I guess I better get the brush and bottle back out!!
