                        Hi All,

                        Here is a recent completion that is my first contribution to the 1/72 scale "OTS" group build.  There's some much more impressive work going on in there including A/C, Armor, dioramas . . . so feel free to check it out.  (unless you DON'T like seeing talented modelers doing impresive work on really cool kits)Surprise

                        Overall, this 1990 Revell Germany kit is a very nicely detailed little gem with a few issues that were fairly easily corrected or "lived with".  I really enjoyed building it.  

                        Comments/Critiques welcomed and encouraged !

                        Thanks,

                        Chris

                        Beautiful work there Bossman.  I especially like the subtile panel line treatment. it's not in your face but still visable. You are included in the "talented individuals" list  for sure.

                         

                         

                         

                         

                         

                         I'm finally retired. Now time I got, money I don't.

                        Thanks Jay Jay. 

                        I've gone to using much lighter shades of grey/brown/green for panel line washes.  I prefer the effect I get when I use (in this case) a grey that is only a few shades darker than the base color.  Then, after the dullcoat is applied, the application of some darker grey pastel chalk makes things stand out a bit more.

                        And thanks to you Toshi.

                        There are some mistakes that I made with the kit, but I'm pretty pleased with the results.  

                        Chris
