-Frank, there is a serious problem with lighting on that pic, maybe your camera doenst have a powerful enough flash. Its no good to post pics of high quality models if you cant see the detail. Please up the lighting.

-Well I like it...

-The flash light should be good, the fact is that i took it at night. ;)
(I'm sure the resizing didn't help either)

-Yes, it is weathered. I tried not to overdo the weathering, as the plane has special markings, wnd should be kept in somewhat of a good shape.
It is Hasegawa's 1/48th kit, with a resin cockpit from Aires.

Looks like an AV-8B Harrier II Plus of the USMC, VMA-231 Aces of Spade if I am not mistaken! Am I right on the squadron?

Absolutely right on all points.
And it took me about 6 months now, only working on it over the week end, and not every week end by far (I built several others at the same time.)
And... thank you :)

Sure.
In the works right now are a Mustang (with open engine comparment), and some ground equipment at 1/72 scale + a hangar. Also 2 Hummers, my first attempt at building targets ... I mean, vehicles. :diablo:
And of course, lots more in various stages of completion.

-First class looking replica Frank. I see there is a site now that takes your photos and places them into a scene and produces a large size print. The ones I've seen looked pretty good. Kind of brought the aircraft to life.
