Nacho Z Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 As I have posted in my 1:12 Matra MS11 F1 build thread, I have been in a bit of a slump lately. I thought I would try an airplane build just to change things up a bit and hopefully get some of my modeler's mojo back. It didn't really work. I guess it did get me back to the bench but I still struggled. Anyhow, here she is. Only the 3rd airplane I've ever built and really, only the 2nd plane I've built in this stage of my life. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisc63 Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Very nice! Impressively clean and neat, especially considering it's in 1/72 scale! You should build more aircraft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually do enjoy building airplanes. I like them all but I think I would gravitate towards WW2 era planes. 2 hours ago, atomicholiday said: Wow that looks great! Really nice paint work. Thank you, Jeremy! It is definitely different than my normal glossy paint jobs…lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plasticprime Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 An impressive build in any scale, but especially so in the fairly diminutive 1/72 size. Excellent photos as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hard_2_Handle_454 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Beautiful. I have a die cast of this plane in one of my boxes from my move. I loved the paint scheme, and my dad loves P-47s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeSchumacher Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Nicely done John. Those Academy kits are good for "slump busting" 😉 Looking forward to seeing more from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
