Looks like fresh from the hangar, as if the paint just dried 5 minutes ago... Great job, details + rigging & colors!

Thanks lads for your comments, extremely motivating, that was tough job...
@Slavo: As far as I know these birds were used in pre-war period thus I assumed the crew had some time for a proper maintenance so must had been fresh and polished... Besides I didn't dare to weather such wonderful colors...
@Nathan: you are right, the kit is old but still good quality and probably the only available in 32 scale (my poor eyes) on the market and I could not resist to have one...

I really think it's spot on like that, I just imagine the spirit of (relatively) early aviation, a new machine gleaming in the sun for the first time, the coat shiny with not a speckle of oil/grime/exhaust smoke... I guess it's a good thing when you see a model and a whole story comes to mind... 🙂
