Nice job Klaas. She looks fantastic.
Any issues with the kit? I have the same one.

Thnx Martin. It was a nice build out of the box and then I added some aftermarket for the outside looks. I didn't bother detailing the inside too much. You do need a lot of weight in the nose because it's quite a tail sitter.

Thnx Bob! I did a preshade as you can see on the pics and if I recall correctly I did a wash with Vallejo water based black and white. On the underside I mixed it to a grey to not overemphasize the lines and for the top I made a dark grey mix.

Thanks Guy. I noticed you have quite a nice 1/72 WW2 collection. Keep it up!

Thnx David! "Perfect" is a bit too much, but I am satisfied with it.

Very nice result. I have also have a black cat on my "longterm" to-build list. Beautiful plane.

Well done on the fuselage panels. Love the shading and panel lines.

Thnx all! I did pre-shading, which I don't do too much anymore an I did a lot of fading.

Thank you for your compliment! I envy the 1:72 catalina builder for all the detail sets available!

True, there is a lot available. I would have used more if I built it for myself, but this one was for a friend, who isn't that demanding.
