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

Thank 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.

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

Thank 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.

Sorry Joshua I´ve ment Eduards Photo etched parts. I've got interior and also exterior set. The kit itself contains also basic sprue I've used it as a reserve.

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

Petr 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.

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

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

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