Hi guys
so this is the final reveal for my entry in this SIG
it was a fun build allthough the decals where a bit of a challenge
but i think it came out okay and i had fun building it so that is good

And that is all i have for this build
thanks for stopping by and having a look
Cheers, Mark

Wow Mark, the presentation with the wire and the cotton worked really well. It looks great

Good idea that was executed beautifully.

Off course the plane itself also looks very good. The satin finish works perfectly.

This gives me much inspiration, thanks.

Love the display setup Mark.. Brillant !!

MarkVerploeg · Post by **MarkVerploeg** » Thu Feb 18, 2016 2:01 am

Thank you very much
it is a simple setup but because it is a demo plane they have smoke so that was a good way to hide the wires i used to hold the plane
it seemed a better solution then to buy a stand where i have a big styrene thing that holds the plane
or just some bare metal wires wich doesn't look all that great either

Nice work Mark! Great scheme, and I really like the presentation, works very well.

MarkVerploeg · Post by **MarkVerploeg** » Wed Feb 24, 2016 11:39 am

Thank you very much Chief
the decals where a challenge though
It seems i used the wrong color for it asit should be a metallic finish but that i have seen several builds that followed the color instructions and had a similar result to mine
the base is really easy to do and it was my first attempt at a base for a plane
all my other planes are standing on their wheels

MarkVerploeg · Post by **MarkVerploeg** » Sun Feb 28, 2016 12:53 pm

Thank you very much
i doubt i am the first one to come up with it though

How did i miss this build??

Mark this piece rocks dude!!..
Many claps and bows for finish and presentation mate..

I'd give more but my mouse has worn out with all the clicking.. lol...
Well done again, decal and paint up is spot on, satin finish gives just the right effect.... and the vapour trails.... WOW!!.. Just perfect mate..

All the best, Bravo!

Thank you very much Andy
for such a small kit the decals where the biggest task
and they took me a while
