Finished Christen Eagle

Beautiful job, Don!  Thanks for sharing the pix.

I know what you mean about tiny models.  That's why I generally avoid 1/72, unless it's a large subject that results in reasonably sized model, like the B-25, etc.  Most of mine are 1/48 and I like 1/32 as well for a single engine aircraft.

Nice, Don.  I don't think I will go there!

Very very nice! I have this one in the stash...looks like i might just have to tackle it....

Hey Don!

Nice job on a tiny bird! I did the Airshow Models 1/32 resin Eagle a few years back for a friend, and I always intended to do one in my scheme for myself but now the kits are rare. You make me want to try one of the Amodel kits, it captures the lines of the Eagle pretty well!

Great work Don considering it's an amodel is a very excellent refine work.(i have one finished and two in stash/building)

Used the original piece for the canopy?

Thanks.  I kind of specialize in that "can you fool folks" kind of model photography!  I see I had the camera too high, though, so will do a few more with the camera a bit lower.

And, in response to the previous post, yeah, that is the kit canopy, probably the best molded part in the kit :-)  And, in keeping with my previous post about the difficulty of gloss finishes, I don't remember exactly how many coats of gloss white paint I have on that thing, but it is a bunch.  Usually I can do flats with two coats (in addition to the primer).

really strange one of major amodel weak point are clear parts!! I used the kit canopies as mold for new ones LOL

Wishing to see more subject like this here

very nice.. !
