Impressive!  
When I built my F-35 last year I did a really impressive bronze finish on the exhaust.  For the life of me, I cannot remember how I did it.  Damned old age kicking in.

It's a Bandai Gouf Custom. Same kit that I built recently.

Looks like Martin has followed me down the rabbit hole known as Gunpla.

He made me do it

Looks cool Martin, isn´t it fun to leave the comfort zone sometimes.

Cheers Rob

[Martinnfb]

Thank you Rob. Absolutely agreed, it is tons of fun. I’ve been on it for a couple of days, not exactly sure about the final placement. At first I was planning to place it as a derelict of war rotting at the bottom of a forest creek bed, second scenario would be an overhaul at the service depot bay and finally a monument of war in a park like settings with kids playing around. The last one appeals to me a lot. I might go that route, just need to do some clean up and detailing which would be required for such setting. 
nevertheless I am ever so thankful to Carl for his immense help, he’s been such a gem of a friend, guiding me along.

Rust effects look really cool Martin.

The other 1/72 109 I was working on around Christmas.  G-10. I realized I would never get both done in time, so it got sidelined. Until now.

And it has another sister. Because these are actually quite fun to build. Another F-2

A tiny bit of work on the Magach. I glued the return rollers and some other random stray parts on after having watched them float around my spray booth for the last while. 

At least this way I won't lose them. 

[Martinnfb]

That looks really promising. 

[Martinnfb]

I spent at least six hours over this beast and it feels like nothing changed

I'm 0 for 3 on building an M60 family of tank kits. This try #4 so hopefully I make it to the end.

I see lots of progress compared to the pics you showed me earlier. But yeah, sometimes it feels like you're not getting anywhere.

What's new on my bench is a lot less of a mess. Spring time, so I took the opportunity to buy a new shelf from Ikea and move a bunch of stuff up onto it to free up some bench space.

 

 

[Martinnfb]

Now that's quite a workshop, I love the idea of storing the sprues.

Very organized. I also have a similar magnifying lamp. an absolute must for working smaller scale👍.

This looks like an F1 sterile build bay compared to that other guys desk! Lamo.

Missed these first go around on the P-39 even though they were staring me in the face from the ref pics... 

There is an inner panel that covers the inside of the wing and the inner gear door hinges.

Should be hollow behind there but it's too late for that now.

And I added receivers so gluing those doors on will be nice and clean.

And I souped up the door map pocket, gave it a bit more dimension since that door will be open.
