Hi Roman. Well done on another great build. I never really looked at the Skyrider before but I have to say that looking at your model it really is a great looking aircraft. Fantastic job. I have to ask you Roman, I havent been on this forum for long but the speed and quality of your building is amazing. I have two questions, How many models have you built and what do you do with them all. Once again, well done on a great build.

thx Hawker,

Well, now I'm curentlly at home on my free days and have a lot of time. But usually I'm working in rotation one month - one month free (oil jobs) and when you can see I'm per year free arround 6 months :smiling3: good for modelling

Every day when I'm freen I'm work on my models for about 6-8 hrs, when you count for one model if I finish it in 7 days its's a great spended time... and of course usually working with acrilylic colors and dont need to wait for drying of colors...

Usually my production is arround 20 models per year (when I'm on job - home roatiton)

And I have one big shelve where I have my models :smiling3:

Cheers,

Roman

Brilliant work as ever Roman, I'm running out of things to say with your builds! This one is so finely detailed & somehow so realistic, you'd think it was a picture of a Skyraider, not a scale model.

As always, the 5 stars are yours & good luck at the competition!

Cheers

Lovely job Roman,I'd expect nothing less from your production line and a man of your abilities :smiling3:

Your shading is extra special on this one and an object lesson in how to do it without over doing it,beautiful.

The "Skyraider" could certainly lift a serious load,no wonder they kept it going for so long.

Cheers

Well Roman. What is left to say?

The build is clean, the paint is as perfect as I could ever hope to see and the photos show all the detail perfect.

I hope that you do well in the contest and will let us know how you got on.

Somehow, five stars don't even come close...

Ian -wondering just what you could do it you slowed down to a pace we could keep up with - M
