Thanks Soeren! The camo was hand-painted with a fine brush and Vallejo acrylics.

Strange looking little bugs, beautyfully painted. I like the orange one best, the subtle shading is superb !
This grade of cleanliness in brushpainting ( camo one ) is almost unreal !

What a painting! Both of AC you painted wit the hand brush? Amazing skill!
Plus, I've never seen the finished model of these "Bugs".

Great work Mike. I'm trying to get one of these, waiting for stock to arrive. What are the kits like?

What little beauties! And all with a 'hairy stick' (old methods rule!). Brill Mike!

Thanks a lot guys! Just to clarify, only the 'giraffe skin' camo was painted with a brush, the orange a/c was airbrushed.
@Ben The kits are beautiful, Hasegawa quality, and come with both handling trolleys and wheels.

Hi Ben, I ordered it from Hobby Link Japan when it was first released.

That's good to know. I've got it on order there but taking a while for them to get it in stock. Cheers.

Hi Mike, very nice work. Could I ask what colour Vallejo paints you used for the camouflage pattern?

Album info
Two small but perfectly formed kits in each box. I built the orange one out-of-box but added a bit of extra cockpit detail (completely spurious since the aircraft never got beyond planning stage) to the cameo's one. Camouflage was hand-painted with a fine brush and Vallejo paint.
