Thanks, Toby.
The unnatural light makes the blue seem darker, and yellow seem creamier when it's actually more yellow. Very cheesy! :-D

Five days from start to finish, I am quite pleased. Especially considering the yellow layers and drying time there, plus other kits I've been working on.
Now if only I could keep this pace on my other models... :lol:

Nice work on the canopy and cockpit, I think if I hand painted I would avoid yellow completely!

A shiny beauty Sissel!
The canopy is perfect, as the paint work.

I think that modeling is a subtle mix of zen philosophy and absolute crazyness - but in my case I would not dare to specify the respective percentage of each......

Turned out nice again. Very clean canopy lines.
Wish I could get mine like that. :lol:

Brilliant work Prisca!

Great job with your yellow paint, it is a real pain to use. I think the blue sets it off well and you've done a grand job with all those little decals :grin:
