I can't even focus the pics, my eyes refuse to do it as they say it's too small  Great job on the paint, Marc  |

Thanks guys. Rick it's Model Master enamels. Can't give you thinning percentages since all the colors were different thicknesses in the jar. A general rule of thumb is the consistency of 2% milk. I went just a tiny bit thinner and built about about 4 light coats.

Man, that's some awesome work (as usual!).
I would lose 75% of those PE parts the first time I picked them up with my tweezers.

Thanks Dicky. I wear the Optivisor for so long with this when I take it off it looks like one of those "I slept funny" creases.

many years ago, I watched an old man tie an ant fly on a #28 hook, and it looked like the real thing. I said to myself that this was flat nuts! Well I tried to do the same on a #22 hook (much much bigger hook). Gave up after about six attempts. Now I see you doing this airplane in 144th! A small plane at that!

Thanks so much guys. Like Bill said a while back. I gots me the 109 FEVER!!!! can't wait to start the Zvezda kit. The territory of the seriously masochistic Dicky it's like the guy that keeps hitting his hand with a hammer. When asked why he says, " Cuz it feel so good when I stop."  And you're no likely not far off with the acorn slices |

Marc, what an awesome finish to a great little build. The final weathering really makes the details pop. Your eyes deserve a major break after this one. Great job. Rick
