Very nice indeed, impressive. Are the US star and bar transfer or painted? Thye look painted to me, and if so you have fantastic talent.

Boy oh boy. Great detail. Loved the underside of that Corsair! I have a few Raiden Corsairs, of which I cannot complain, but have been thinking of getting like 4 GHQ's for the bit if extra detail, and weather them a bit :) How did you fade the underside white into the side blue? Airbrush? Or some paintbrush technique? —Rolando

No way did you paint these at 1/285th. You painted them full scale and then shrunk them down! These look awesome.

Thanks for the kind words guys :) The stars and bars are decals (I-94); they look painted on because I used enough coats of micro-sol that the decals formed well to the contours. The underside fading was done with an airbrush. Tanner
