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

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

Lovely work!

Nice paint job.

[Seal]

That’s cool.   

[Blackwolf]

Thanks all, and yes it’s huge

[Daeothar]

Very nice!

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?

Great stuff 

Zaku! Zaku! Zaku!

Ah shit, wrong franchise 

[Bravo Six]

Wow! Amazing work that, Blackwolf. 

[Captain Blood]

Stunning Guy 

[Blackwolf]

Thanks all
I’m afraid I saw the kit on some website,found it available in Australia,you know what happened next
It’s not for any project,certainly not a Macross one in 1/48 , 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 . 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.

Think it's finished, here's a final WIP photo:

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