As suspected; paint is reducing BU rating.  Color choice works.  Gunna come out fine. :smiley:

You said it Bill!

The shots of the completed model are pure eye-candy all the way!



Mr Gimper, take a bow. This beauty's a real tour d'force!

Looking at completed Aardvark with decals.  No BU rating but lots of character rating. :smiley:
Is visionary to see Aardvark concept in the XP-56.

Excellent build and ... fantastic photography. Really great picture, Carl. Background is perfect.

all best
John

Thank you John and all others.  The backdrop is (for John's info) is Dollarama foam core and sheet of light blue poster board. I watched how our members photographed their builds and noticed that the light blue shows up as neutral background and does change the colour of the subject. I use an iPhone 6 for my photos.

 It does look pretty nice. ( and I kinda like the Zubyr too - but it was a reeeealy wretched aircraft... ;) ) I wonder if the mods here would have fixed some of the Bullet's problems...
