Thanks Clifford, Augie, and Chris!

That shark mouth almost disintegrated, but I couldn't pass up using it. I'm still thinking of a bit more weathering, but not much...

Looking good, very special lines... to be added to my already to long wanted list...

The graceful lines of the P-51 are completely destroyed, an ugly duckling....I love it!

Thanks Bart!

Glad you enjoyed it Wim, I do like the odd ones 🙂

tss.. always the same story when you encounter something interesting...

I should have made a cast of this before building it.

Bart - If I see one while attending local shows I'll pick it up as long as they aren't asking some insane amount of $$ 🙂

Bart Goesaert
You would make me happy with that...

That's something you don't see often! I like it a lot! Cool.

I would not do more weathering, once you are over the top, yuo can only descent and there is no way back to the oriinal optimal state

Nice! Excellent conversion!

That is quite the unusual subject, but very cool nonetheless! Very nice job on this too, the camo looks great!

I'm not an airplane guy, I just drop my jaw in awe at the appropriate times, which is like 98% of the time. But what makes this plane "unusual" or "something you don't see often"? Just curious. Again, awesome!

When you look to modelforums or facebook, there are general modeltopics, and then those you only encounter once in a while... An example with tanks: a t-34/85 or a tiger is common, a Syrian T-34/122 ([img1]) is unusual or you don't see this one often

Thanks for all the kind words mates!

Chris - Taking a perfectly nice kit and hitting it with an ugly stick is an example of unusual.

Bart - That one is unusual!

Chris Greathouse
Ok, I've got it, Thanks for the clarification... Nothing, I'd know about 😛 I'm a civilian modeller. I'll just continue to drop my jaw in awe... 😄

Nathan Dempsey
Chris, you know unusual! Like the Arcade-Mobile!!

Thanks Michael! I thought it would be a bit of fun.

Chris Greathouse
Oh yeah, I guess I do pop out a funky kit every once in a while 😄

Nathan Dempsey
Thanks James, I have to finish something every once in a while 🙂
