Anzo Posted September 27, 2013 Author Posted September 27, 2013 Thank you, guys. Fantastic! This has to be one of the best builds on LSM! So since its nearly done.... What are you thinking of next? Dave, next 1/32 is an A-4 Skyhawk, but you may be disappointed because I probably begin building the A-4 six months later due to there are several Sci-Fi and figures models are behind this P-400.
Anzo Posted September 30, 2013 Author Posted September 30, 2013 All right, I think this is the final update. More photos of this P-400 are coming soon. Thanks for watching. Client also provided a Signifer 1:32 WWII USAF forked lift set for the bomb and drop tank. Cleaned these resin parts and tried to dry fit. In the photo of the Signifer forked lift set, there was a wooden frame on the bomb loader, but this wooden frame wasn’t included in this set actually. Therefore, I tried to scratch build two wooden frames by the wooden stick of popsicle. Painted the basic colors for bomb loader and wooden frames. Washed by oil paint and painted silver for chip effect. Also used soft pastel to add some weathering. This was going to be a nice way for displaying the bomb and drop tank. 3
Dave J Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 This has a total joy to follow! Really looking forward to seeing you hit the Skyhawk when you get to it!
GAJouette Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Anzo, Now that's one Outstanding P-400 my friend. Very impressive paint work and weathering. Highest Regards, Gregory Jouette

oddmanrush Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Wow, that is something to be proud of for sure! Beautiful build. Can't say much more than that...
Jamme Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Fantastic job. Followed the WIP intensely! congrats, Jamme
Anzo Posted October 7, 2013 Author Posted October 7, 2013 Thank you, Jamme. By the way, I suddenly notice that there are 114 "Like" below. Wow~~~ 1
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted October 8, 2013 Administrators Posted October 8, 2013 Just blown away at the quality you put into this model. Dare i ask what's next? Cheers, Jeroen
Grant Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 I haven't mentioned much on your stupendous build but I have enjoyed everything you've done and I've learned so much it's frightening. Please don't take this the wrong way but I actually have very little regard for the Airacobra (I just can't get excited about it) so it says a lot about your phenomenal skills that has kept me watching throughout. Some are great scratch builders and others are great painters but you, Sir, are both at the same time. Thank you for sharing this at LSM - I think we're very lucky to have you here.
Guest Kagemusha Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Fantastic, always liked the Airacobra especially in that scheme.
Matt_ Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Beautiful work Anzo... Looking at the contents of this kit pulled out of the stash makes me realise how much you've really amplified the kit's potential... I really like your use of pastels, they add a great deal of life to a relatively flat colour (for example on the bomb). Are these the sticks that you have to grind down to get a sort of dust to apply, or are they the softer oil pastels.? If they are the oil pastels could you explain briefly how you use them..? Thanks Matt
Anzo Posted October 12, 2013 Author Posted October 12, 2013 If only I had that kind of talant Paul I believe that every modeler has talent if he keeps building models. Just blown away at the quality you put into this model. Dare i ask what's next? Cheers, Jeroen Thank you, Jeroen. Next model is a Sci-Fi model, Transformers. If you say in 1/32, that will be an A-4 Skyhawk, but probably begin the project after 6 months.

I am glad to hear that. Because I always learn something and enjoy when I see someone’s WIP, so I want to share these useful skills with every one of you. That means we learn from each other, then everyone build a nice model. What a wonderful World!! Brilliant work! Thank you, mikester. Fantastic, always liked the Airacobra especially in that scheme.

Thanks Matt Thank you, Matt. I used soft pastel. Just like you said, grind the soft pastel on sand paper and apply these powders on the areas where I want to have these effects.
JonathanReed Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 While searching for detail parts for the Cobra i came across this! This is a beautiful build! Thank you for sharing and i cant wait to make a total butt out of myself while trying to do all of the techniques posed here. But I am inspired to at least try!
