My Favorite Plane Model

This is one of the most tedious air plane models I have every made. It was part of a 3 float plane package I bought from Tamiya distributor at a clearance sale. No one wanted it, so I decided to do something very different. Armed with an Eduard upgrade kit from M Workshop, I decided to have a go at it, making the weathered look of exposing the Chromium Oxide, Ferric Oxide and the aluminium from below the planes green painted surfaces.

Here are some of the pictures and I have written a long article on the build process which Marcus Nichols has accepted for publication on Tamiya Magazine. I hope it sees print soon so that you guys out there can do what I did.
