Like the paint flaking off effect!. I did this model earlier this year. Not as much imagination. Taking off right?

Vicente
Thanks! yep, taking off

Rui
Outstanding work! 👍

Vicente
Thanks mate!!

Sebastian Meyner
Great idea and execution 👍

Clement
Nice and dynamic.
I see that you fell prey to Academy's notoriously bad decals unfortunately.

Treehugger
Could be improved with a thinner plexiglass rod I think, unsure how thin one can go before the rod starts to bend.

Neuling
As Sebastian says: great idea and execution!

Vicente
Thank you all!! And yes academy decals are horrible haha

Simon O'Gorman
This is just fantastic. Love the moment in time that you've caught.

Vicente
Thank you!! I love how it turned out

Łukasz Gliński
Impressive 👍

Michael Kohl
I really like this presentation. A rotating propeller would be the cherry on the cake.

Spanjaard
amazing idea, excellent job. I agree with Michael about the propeller

Rando
The raising gear placement is *chef's kiss*

Simon O'Gorman
I think of it as raising too... but it could be lowering. Landing or taking off Vicente?

Vicente
Haha ty guys! I totally agree with the propeller idea! I'll try to find a way to do it next time. It's taking off 😉

Spanjaard
check strobez builds, for example The Battlefield - The Black Knight of Berlin (part 1) | Album by strobez (1:144), he is usually adding motors in 1/144, so it should be easier I 1/72 😉

Vicente
Thanks for the tip!

Michael Kohl
I like this technique:
