Tamiya FW-190A-3 finished!

Thanks again, glad everyone is enjoying this one.

Darren- WOW!  That sounds very official.  Please pass my best regards to HMSS.

Steve- I most humbly agree with your finishing techniques!  I am also of the school where "as long as I am pleased with the build" is the rule.  I couldn't agree more!   I am using a home-made light box, with four spotlights incorporating 100w G&E Reveal balanced lights.  The camera is a Nikon D80, with a AF-s 18-135mm lens.  I use these settings F-stop 22, shutter speed 1.3, and ISO 100.  Seems to work for most things, and I am always up for trying different settings if anyone has others that might help. 

trexx- Why, thank you!  I did not re-touch any of the photos, they are as taken from the camera.  Great weathering technique, isn't it?  Nothing quite like worn off paint to resemble worn off paint.

Daywalker,I found this video today on youtube.....and immedietly thought of your build.  Very similar besides being an A-4 not sure what the differences are....but you weathering looks spot on.

Killer Butcher Bird! Can´t say much that ain´t been said. The smoke and exaust stains on the white really set it off. super technique. Ever done mud/dirt stains on the underside from operating from an unimproved feild? Panel lines are sharp as well. Have to do any rescribeing, if so, how? I´m building the same kit and lost the entire access panel on the left side of the vertical stabilizer due to a combination of a decal disaster and stupidity and now I´m looking for a remedy.
