Hi ARC´s friends. This is my first article for an international scale modelers´ page. I´m sending it because of an invitation of my friend "Necsac".

The first image is an artistic work of the model that I did with a graphical program in my computer.

The special details shown in the followings pictures (e.g. spoilers, speed brakes, slats and flaps areas) are hand made, done with plastic cards (0.3 mm), following guidelines from photographs and drawings downloaded from different internet sites.

The kit was entirely assembled (except the scratch-building) in out of box condition. In this step, the biggest challenge was the painting process. For that stage, I used domestic car acrylic paints. The weathering was done with pre-shading system, using after, lighter colors, between panels, for contrast purpose.

If you want to see the step by step, please visit the following link, at the forum of the local IPMS group.

I hope you enjoy it.

Special thanks to my friend Oxiel Carrizo (Necsac).
