Thank you Neil for your comment! Have a nice day!

Nice build & weathering. (Very minor point of detail-the gun bay covers lay flat on their backs when open.) I like your choice of color, roundels & D-Day stripes. Well done!

[@studiosam4350]

Thank you very much! Thank also for the detail point!

凸モールドを全て凹モールドにしなくても凹リベットにすることでとても良い感じになりますね。とても参考になりました。古いレベル1/32 Ju87Ｂ制作の参考になります。

I have one of these sitting in my stash. Trying to figure out what to do behind the cockpit with that glass exposing bare plastic. I'm looking for period photos to print and see what might be exposed. Also I am wondering about that rear bulkhead. Shouldn't it have been scalloped? So pilot would be able to see out of the glass. She's an old kit for sure. Lacking the refinements of 50 years in the industry. You did an outstanding job bringing her to a solid finish.

[@studiosam4350]

Thank you very much! Yeah the kit is old but it can be upgraded with good researches. I wish you a good build on this kitty!

[@FinsburyPhil]

Great work. In-depth tutorial videos on your techniques would be much appreciated.

[@studiosam4350]

Thank you!! I'll think about it but this is something I'll do for sure!

[@Diregecko]

Great build, pleasant and satisfying to watch Love the scratch parts. Most impressive, though, that you managed to not break off the spine antenna throughout the latter part of the build. :D You got a new subscriber.

[@studiosam4350]

Thank you very much! Yeah, have to be really carefull with this tricky risky antenna!

What do ya use for your Panel Liner? In getting back into the hobby after spending a Life time painting Beechcrafts. I used Tamiya liner and Testors Thinner to wash off. I had a coat of clear Lacquer. When I cleaned off the liner, PAINT came off on my Cotton Bud. It was Great till them. Any help would be appreciated!!!!!!

[@studiosam4350]

Thank for watching! I think your problem comes from the clear coat or from the thinner you used to whipe the excess of liner.

SS, congrats on 2,000subs! Well deserved my friend! Out of curiosity, what happened to canopy window and what did you do to resolve the issue so I don’t make the same mistake?🤔

[@studiosam4350]

Thank you sir!! What happened is that I glued the bubble after the masking so I couldn't control perfectly the gluing. The thin glue works by capillary and it went to far on the bubble. So, what I suggest to you (included myself) is to glue the bubble then mask it for the paint. Hope my experience will be helpfull.

Great build, im currently working on the very same one, im having a really hard time trying to find the hellcat decals for the nose....any suggestions?

[@studiosam4350]

It seems they were no Hellcats with nose art because it was forbidden. I'm not an expert so I'm not 100% sure. Thanks for watching!
