Very nice work, krieglok :D I'm especially a fan of that B-47... Looks a lot like the one on display near my area at the Castle Air Museum in Atwater, CA. Just excellent work on your part.

Wow, nice airbrush work. The canopy is much nicer too. I built the Monogram kit right out of the box, except for the decals, which I had a little trouble with. The Eduart kit is much better. Nice work, overall. Thanks for posting your work.

And thanks everyone for the kind words!

Thanks, C. It is an Emily flying boat. A Kawanishi H8k to be exact.

Here it is before I weathered it...I kind of wish I hadn't....

Most were lost near the end of the war. The ones still flying were pretty beat up and worn out. That was what I was trying to simulate...
