I love the camouflage pattern! It must be a pretty big model at 1/48.

Very nice! 8)

I've only seen these in high altitude/interceptor colourschemes, á la F-14s in the early eighties, with very high vis squadron markings. But this muted, very low altitude ground-pounder camouflage works equally well!

Is this a one-off, or will it be part of larger project? I mean; Macross in 1/48?  :D

Thanks all :)
I’m afraid I saw the kit on some website,found it available in Australia,you know what happened next ;D
It’s not for any project,certainly not a Macross one in 1/48 lol, that would just be silly ahem.
Deaothar;  all the versions on the ‘net are rather boring, and I’ve been reading rather a bit about ‘planes during WWII, especially noticing how weathered they can be, a lot of modellers don’t weather their aircraft enough :o. It will add to my growing collection of space vehicles,and ‘planes in general, a very eclectic mix :)

Really impressive work. 

I run Mecha games in 1/56, but the Macross toys and models we use are technically  closer to 1/72 or so.  Doing the game in proper 1/48 would be MASSIVE.

Will be looking forward to your future work.

Superb paintwork there - the camouflage colours really suit it.

Wonderful painting. I really like all the exposed aluminium on the leading edges of the fuselage and wings- fantastic stuff.

I’ll echo that - the weathering looks excellent. She looks like she’s been through a lot, and survived.
