Nice repaints DH! Let me guess, you're a fan of British aircraft/livery?

Re: My growing Obsession and some fun!!!

Keep up the good work, DH. We repaint fans have to stick together. But remember, once you're hooked you wont be able to stop. How about an IXO wildcat done up as a FW-190------ maybe Priller's plane as it flew on D-Day over the Normandy beaches?

Hi

Attached two recent completions, am considering a B-17 Coastal Command..........not happy with Corgi's version. I have a B-17 Sweet and Lovely in the loft somewhere!!

I enjoyed these two, I think the quality is gradually improving!!

Re: My growing Obsession and some fun!!!

Nice work! May I offer a suggestion to make your cammo alittle sharper. If you can get some silly putty it helps make cammo patterns look much sharper. You can roll it into thin pencil like sections to make your outlines, then fill in with more putty. Modelling paint doesn't effect it when in contact and you get some great seperation of colors when done. I like your selections, the SBD and P-38 most of all. Though I'd tone down the gloss look.
