Initial test fitting started. Will require more sanding and putty that expected for such a new kit.

Cool subject and nice start 👍 Test fitting is half the "fun" on these limited run kits.

Great start!👍🏻

Finished it with a Matt varnish, however, should it be semi gloss for the metal parts, and the Matt varnish only for the green top paint and bottom? It looks a bit flat with the Matt varnish overall…
Seems the Orginal planes did not look too shiny during war times…
Heavy weathering on the bottom part due to many mistakes to cover up 😂 but was thankful it still was manageable for a a my first scale model build.
Thanks

John
I think it looks good Stephan. 👍 I misted a very light coat of matte varnish on to my F-84 and I think it replicates fairly well the dull, but not too dull, aluminum of an aircraft in service.

Here I present the third of the bunch - it's finally finished! This model is staying with me, which is one of the reasons why I have added a few extras: I bought the boarding ladder and these specific airbrakes on the fuselage from the manufacturer Pilot Replicas. Both are very nice resin parts that don't represent any extra effort, but add a little detailed variety. In the case of the airbrakes, they offer a real improvement over the original parts: the resin pieces are wonderfully filigree and beautifully perforated. There are also the two ejector seats made of resin. This time the harness is moulded on and not made from Tamiya tape like the first two machines.
I thank you for your interest and active participation in this triplet and hereby close this project!

Michael Kohl
I like that one too.

Indistinguishable from the real thing. Amazing work.

David Culp
I agree with @scaleffect , it looks real to me.

When I looked at the first photo, I thought it was a "stock" photo of the real thing to show what you were building. I didn't realize it was your model. Stunning.

Christian Lehmann

Looks like the real thing in your photos ....... 🙂

Roland Sachsenhofer
That's high praise - thank you!

How could I have missed that album? Beautiful work! And as mentioned above, it looks real in many of the photos! Bravo, Roland! I'm really enjoying this! 🫵👍👏👏👏

A small detail perhaps on an overall fantastic build but I love the way you executed the exhaust staining, taking into account how it would affected by the air brake and shape of the exhaust outlet. It's little details like this that make the difference between "good" and "great" models. You really don't even see it directly but your eye captures it as part of the overall picture and I think that's where the realism comes in. Congrats on a beautiful build Roland.
