Beautiful work 👍 looking great

Chrisswe
Thank you Rui! It is my first build in modern times. I learned a lot from this project.

gorby
Lovey work - particularly for a first 'returnee' build.
Welcome back to the hobby.

Mr D
Outstanding 👌 should be proud 👍👍

Chrisswe
Thanks a lot for your kind words. I think I did many mistakes during the build but it turned out well in the end. A big ship is probably more forgiving than a small aircraft for example.

Jörg Schäfer
Very nice work. 👍

Villiers de Vos
Fantastic work.

Paul
Looks great! Did you paint the deck?

Chrisswe
Thanks Paul and Villiers and Jörg. Yes I sprayed it with wooden colour and painted some of the planks in lighter and darker colours. It worked well on the part of the floor that is PE and not so well on the original plastic main deck.

Gary Victory
Very nice build and finish. Lovely work.

Chrisswe
Thanks Gary🙂

Neuling

Thanks Neuling, Maurice and Mr D! The positive feedback I get here motivates me to try to improve and build more ships.

Picture 8 : I screw up riveting on the second wing. 😅 I was thinking that doubling the number of rivet lines was a good idea on this part of the wing, turned out it wasn't...
I used Tamiya Surfacer to cover everything and start again

Alberto
Very promising start, I'm in!

Fabien
Wow impressionnant. super beau boulot

Alec K

Gary Victory
A real pain doing the riveting but so satisfying once it's done. Lovely work Romain.

Romain Sablou
Thank you all for your interest ! This is my first attempt on riveting an all airplane, I wouldn't say it was painful, but rather a looong and sometime tiring job. Overall I really enjoyed the experience and the satisfation when highlighting the rivets with a black wash 👌

Jakub Fiala
Very nice work, so far. Riveting looks perfect 👍 I´ve just ordered a new release of Edugawa F/G Marauder, so i will look for some inspiration here.

Romain Sablou
Thanks ! Yes, this new release of the F/G version is great news for all Marauder fan 👌

Dietmar Bogatzki

Spanjaard
my respect for somebody who can do a complete riveting of a plane... and you said it was your first? how, that looks truly amazing! beautiful cockpit too!

Romain Sablou
Thank you all ! Yes first time, pretty happy with the result. I received good advices from my French "Sensei" Julien Haccoun 🙏

Alex Rakhimgulov
Outstanding project!

Gary Victory
Totally echo Roberts's comments. Awesome work so far on this build Romain.

Christoph Kunz
👍 👍 👍

skyfox22
wow that's amazing how on earth did you get the finish so good

Alec K
Outstanding work on those invasion stripes 👍

Romain Sablou
Many thanks everyone ! It means a lot during this time consuming project. The finish is acheived by cleaning and polishing the model prior to paint stage. Then by using well diluted paint for thin and smooth coats of paint.

Gary Victory
NMF finishes are more work, but so much more rewarding when done. Super metallics for me definitely the metals paints available.

Yury
Why haven't I seen this miracle before?! Magnificent, super! Fabuleux!

Jakub Fiala
Those worn invasion stripes look great! 👍

CaptGPF
Agree with Alex, the invasion stripes are sooowell done. Roman - how are the Mr Hobby metallics compared to the AK Xtreme metals?

Romain Sablou
Thanks mates 🙂
Mr. Hobby Super Metallic pros : much stronger during weathering steps. cons : dilution can be tricky, not much choices in shades.
AK pros : more variety of color , perfect pre dilution for airbrush, cons : very sensitive to solvant during weathering, high drying time.

Tony Tonov
Great build, I've been following it from the beginning. Impressive result and attention to details. It is an inspiration for my next model 👍

Gary Victory
Absolutely love how this build is coming together. Love the paint work Romain.

Romain Sablou
Thanks guys ! I can't wait to fully dive into weathering

Clement
At this point, I feel like most of us are just speechless, your work is really awe inspiring!

Lebloge
😮 Just one word in mind...perfection ! 😮

Dave Flitton
I didn't know how beautiful the new Airfix kit was. You have done some really nice work!

Evan B...
Thanks Dave. It truly is a wonderful and well thought out kit. Some parts are a bit fiddly, but I'm so glad I decided to grab it on a whim at my local hobby shop.

Finn
Looking good

Rui S
I agree👍
