David JanuskaFinished Black Widow. I've learned a lot on this project about airbrushing, tried some kind of post shading. Thanks to my friend Pavel.

David JanuskaThank you Alec. I was suprised with the quality of the kit. Someone told me it is horrible, but I haven't encountered any major issues. The built was very pleasing for me. Except painting. It is my weakness.

Alec KI think your paint job looks great. Besides the wing to engine nacelle fit, my experience with this kit was good.

David JanuskaThank you Andy. That pinup is fron Kits-world decals. I've made special selection😉. But with the finishing helped me my "guru". He pushed me several levels higher with the airbrushing.

Petr LehnertAwesome job David! Do you have a photo of how much weight and where it was needed to make it stand on front wheel?

David JanuskaPetr thank you, sorry I have no photo for this situation, but I'll try to describe it. I'm using tin balls something like that pelikan-rcmodely.cz/..e-zavazi-50-g-p39084 and to fix it I'm using also Flexible nose weight - uschivdr.com/product..lexible-nose-weight/. I filled the radar cover (it is single part) in front completelly with the bals and seal it with the Uschis mass. I glue it as the last part, so I've tried it for sevral times and result was it must be completelly filled.

David JanuskaThe same approach can be seen in my album Wine, Women & Song - WIP | Album by Dy dzeJ (1:72) on pictures #14 and #15.

David JanuskaThe only difference is that it was not possible to palce the weight in the nose so I install it between cockpit and bomb bay.

Tony TonovGreat work, David! I am currently building the same so the info about nose weight also is very useful.
