I've seen a few Spitfire 'pictures' and this is definitely the best of the bunch.
It would be good to know what the medal is.

Neuling
Cool!

Simon Tibbitts
Thank you both for the very kind words!

Gorby, the medal and badges are replicas of:

The Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC) that was issued by the RAF to Squadron Leader, Jan Zumbach for his heroics, along with many other pilots from 303, Polish Squadron during the Battle of Britain.

Thanks for letting me know. 👍

That's stunning work Simon and very well presented. Love it. Top Job Sir.

Michael Kohl
With every other work you present here I am more and more impressed by your skills - but most of all your creativity to present well known subjects in an original way. Hats off.

Glad you liked it!

Definitely taking a sit on this one 😂

For some reason I see the subject as "Mikoyan MiG-29S Fulcrum-C (Izdeliye 9.13)" 🙁

ScaleFella NAFO
I see F-16?

Anyway, today is a great day to make some progress on this kit

David H
Deffo says fulcrum-c under title. But looking forward to this one anyway. 👍🏻

Luc B
Also Fulcrum-C here

ScaleFella NAFO
Ah I see it as well!

Anyway I made some good progress building my Orc Smasher.

ScaleFella NAFO
Added some ResKit stuff! Amazing quality

Will you go for the realistic version or the digital scheme?

ScaleFella NAFO
Likely digital 🇺🇦

Luc B
Who will be the first to release Terma PIDS+? ResKit?

ScaleFella NAFO
I would buy them instantly

ScaleFella NAFO
Temporary paused, looking at Twitter/X/Telegram is more fun these days.

Ray Loch
Cool Scheme

MIG1981
Crazy how fast it goes!

A great lesson for the arrogant orcs and vatniks (you know who you are) on this site.

Was that a question??? If yes, 100% correct ✅

Watching😎

Ogge
Looks real good

Neuling
Good build! I like the wood planks with the scraped off colour.

Christian W
Holy! What a "thing" is that!? Amazing.

Nathan Dempsey
Great work Lenny. I especially like the weathering around the gun.

Mark Norfolk
You are a very talented modeller Mr Li - this one, your LC and Husky.... Wow!

Lenny Li
Thank you guys. Just trying to practice my weathering skills after stopping modeling for more than 2 years. I am not very happy about the chipping on the engine hood. It's a bit too much. Hope I can improve in the next project!

JEAN PAUL CAMUS
Bonjours je viens de finir le GMC bofors au 1/35 de Hobby Boss et je me retrouve avec 4 pièces qui ne sont pas indiqué (pieces H15) si quelqu'un peut me renseigné. Merci

Zach Wilson
spectacular build! The detail is fantastic and I love the style.

Agustin Prellezo
Thank you Zach! The GMC kit is very good in details. The Harley is the old Tamiya kit and requires some extra detail. The Miniart figures are also good. I only used a Hornet head for the "drunk driver". And the champagne bottles are fantastic!

Tom ...
Incredible build. Love everything about it.

Konrad -
Awesome build and a very impressive detailed work!!

Agustin Prellezo
Thanks, friends!

Rafael Loose
Great work!

Neuling
Beautiful diorama! I´m afraid however this Frenchman won`t hit any enemy aircraft any more.

Agustin Prellezo
Who can say no to a bottle of champagne? Thanks, mates.

Olivier
The GMC number seems a little odd. And the flag should be before the number.

Spanjaard
excellent job, i really like how it tells a story. great details Agustín.

Tom Ballhoff
Absolute fantastic work

Michael Hickey
Really, really well done you should be proud at what you have achieved.👍👍👍

Agustin Prellezo
I very much appreciate your comments, mates.
Olivier, you are probably right. I just put the decals as per instruction sheet. I really have no idea about French vehicles of wwii.

Mustang 1989
A bit late to the party but I've gotta ask. I'm getting ready to tackle this kit and would like to know where you got the tarps / baggage that's hanging off of the rear and sides of the vehicle.

Great looking build by the way. Very well detailed and weathered.

Rui S
Did I miss this Outstanding work 👍

Agustin Prellezo
Thanks for your comments, friends. The baggage comes from this Tamiya set:
Vehicles Accessory Set (Tamiya 35229, 1:35)

Pietro De Angelis
Stunning dio, congrats!

Agustin Prellezo
Thanks, Pietro!!

Laliscale
Really nice dio👏👏👏👏

The birds on the antenna! Love it!

Great built, wonderful scene and the sparrows are my favourites too. ❤️️

Jan Peters
I agree with all above, very nice indeed 👍🏻

art81
Very nice 👍

Robert Podkoński
Fantastic dio!

Neuling
A masterpiece.

Michael Kohl
I suppose you messed ip the drive train and had to hide it?! 😜
Kidding aside. Nice story and beautiful execution. A lot for details to discover. Excellent paint job and very convincing mud. A real show stopper.

Hans
I see. It's trying to join the battle cruiser fleet. Kidding of course. Beautiful work.

Neuling
A masterpiece.

Michael Kohl
Anooother Spit. But, hey - that's one with an awesome paintjob. Top.

Jakub Chlodek
Thanks! appreciate!

J35J
Great build & paintjob!

gorby
Stunning painting and weathering!

Jakub Chlodek
Many thanks!

Doubtingmango
Fantastic! Those don't even look like decals

Pietro De Angelis
Fantastic Spit!

Jakub Chlodek
Cheers! Thank you!

Jakub Fiala
Great work! I especially like fading of camouflage colors 👍

Harald Besold
Great models - very well done!

Giannis Kaltapanidis
Great work. Did you use smoke on the canopy?

CaptGPF
Thank you everyone for your likes. 😀

Harald. I put the two side by side to show the differences in the paint. It was an eye opener to see how there was so much variation on such a color!

Giannis, I used X-19 + X-24 using a 5:1 ratio. Perhaps a 4:1 would have worked better. I'll note this in the pictures for reference.

RichardL from this forum deserves the credit for the Have Glass mixture I based the new build off of - arcforums.com/forums..70-who-got-it-right/

gorby
Very nice work!

CaptGPF
Thanks Gorby!

Mr James
A great pair. Lovely finish on these great looking fly birds😄

Neuling
I agree with Mr James!

CaptGPF
Thank you, Mr James / Neuling - it means a lot coming from the two guys I am always drawing inspiration from!

Markus Helmers
Great build! Love image 26! Such an insane vehicle.

Findus
Sehr schöne Details, das Chrom ist super, welche Farbe hast du verwendet?

nikfrost
No paint used for the chrome Findus, just the bare metal photo etch!

Bozzer
Looks good Nik. Give that shell plenty of time to dry, and you should be good for clear coat 🙂

nikfrost
Thanks Bozzer. I will certainly do that, do lacquers take longer to cure/dry? And no sanding before the clear coat?

Bozzer
Really, it should be dry now, but with the weather we've had, I'd wait until tomorrow. It's supposed to be a good morning? I'd personally check in real light, that you're happy with the colours, and if you are, shoot it with a coat of clear. Check that, when dry, and decals. Then clear coat again, once the decals are dry. Try to cover the body with a plastic tub or something, to prevent dust from settling on your clear coat 😉

Bozzer
Any luck mate?

nikfrost
Yes! Decals and final gloss coat done, just waiting on the final polish now. Thank you for the advice, it's turning out quite nicely I think!

Bozzer
That's looking awesome buddy! Let that clear, dry for a few days, before doing any buffing.
It's usually at this point, I start another build.
However, work is only hours away, and weekend looks like a lifetime away 🙁

R C
looks real nice! I am playing Gran Turismo 7 and this car actually drives nice consider it's age. Now I want one.

Это просто ахуенно

Rui S
Excellent paint job and Dio 👍

Hemingway
That replacement blue door is such a perfect accent. The weathering is amazing throughout. Great work

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work and weathering.

Robert
outstanding work 👍
👍

Gábor Vermes
Huhhh! It's an excellent work, and especially thanks for a non-military theme. Some details like the Stihl, the gloves in the truck or the plastic cans... Very nice, I love it!

Neuling
Inspiring work. Great modelling!

Michael Kohl
Yes outstanding it is - in every aspect.
