mynameismatt The quiet lurker Member Registered: 02/02/05 Posts: 330 Loc: Hudsonville, Michigan	This is a very underrated kit. While much of the trumpeter "bashing" is deserved, this kit is an absolute gem, and very fun to build! Very detailed interior, parts fit great with very little filler needed. Trumpeter kit, MM enamel paints, TechMod decals & Masks, promodeller wash. I still need to add some exhaust stains and rigging, but other than that it is done! _________________________ MSI X58 Pro-E Mobo with i7 950 @ 4.01 Ghz G.SKILL Ripjaws 8Gb (2x4Gb) DDR3 1333 EVGA GeForce 470 GTX Superclocked COOLER MASTER Hyper N520 CPU cooler Win 7 Pro 64 Logitech G940 TrackIR5 ----------------- Currently Playing: Thirdwire Series, Train Simulator 2012

Literally This was 13 years ago. I was 17 then. I look back and go ewwww, to much weathering...lol _________________________ Flight Sim Skin Booth http://www.vmfa-531.com/FSSB Jane's F/A-18 Resource v2 http://www.JF18-Resource.com

semmern Hotshot Registered: 03/19/01 Posts: 8808 Loc: Oslo, Norway	Very nice build! Trumpeter went way overboard on the rivets though, they look way over-scale. I've got the AM 1/48 TBM kit in my stash, looking forward to building it. _________________________ In all my years I've never seen the like.

Bruce Member Registered: 10/26/00 Posts: 273 Loc: Danvers,MA USA	Absolutely beautiful work, how do you get such great detail in the rivets? the weathering is just right.This was also the plane George Bush flew in as well wasn't it?

mynameismatt The quiet lurker Member Registered: 02/02/05 Posts: 330 Loc: Hudsonville, Michigan	Thanks for all of the compliments everyone! I find building models very relaxing. Originally Posted By: Bruce Absolutely beautiful work, how do you get such great detail in the rivets? the weathering is just right.This was also the plane George Bush flew in as well wasn't it? The entire plane is given a "wash" using a mixture of dark acrylic paint thinned down. Once dried you rubb off the majority, but the wash stays in the rivets. Yep, Bush flew an Avenger in WWII. I was hoping to find some aftermarket decals of it, but no luck!
