Just to let you know... I just got sick! About the time I think, think mind you, I know what I'm doing I see a post like yours. Wow, just truly amazing. I don't know where to start. The weathering is incredible. Did you use decals, or did you paint the surroundals and lettering? It looks like the latter. As far as detail... again, just amazing. When I grow up, I want to be like you ;-) Thanks for sharing... One of my favorites to date...  Raymond

Guys  Im  truly flattered and glad you liked my job !!

 All the colors i used was Gunze aqueous ,thinned with tamiya lacquer thinner.

I pre shaded the kit with flat black and sprayed some black dots randomly on the center of the panels.

For the weathering i used salt technique,with small grain and thick grain salt.

and i sprayed some light grey and tan randomly,at the end i washed the whole kit with black flory wash and grime !!!!

A mighty fine job there, she's a real beauty! How long did it take to build her and did you used any of the AM sets?

It always amazes me how much more detail can be put into 1:32 models.  Amazes and sickens! =]  This was very well done.  

Kudos.

I'm going to give you the highest compliment one can give a model builder...It looks absolutely real.

No small feat on an aircraft model.  Outstanding work.
