I love the Boxcar!!! The F-111 is stellar in workmanship, but I wonder if the colors might be slightly off. And the Tempest is one of my most favorites. Looks like a British Bulldog. All upper body.

The model looks great. But I prefere the Italian mottling with these colours.A camo pattern with these looks much better, I think.

If you look closely you can see that the modeller of the first SM82 is more skilled with the application of the camo and has applied an excellent tight spray pattern.

Yeah, I noticed that. Also, the panel lines are shaded on the first one, and the cowling looks better.

Wow, Wayne you are right about the camo. However, having been on the end of that stick, getting camo down for different scales is difficult. Other than the paint blend, the build is nicely done.

What caught my eye was the seem between fuselage and wing joint on the second model.

But then again.. I can only wish to build such beauties. Well done gents.

Agreed they do both look good, it was a simple case of comparing the same model done by modellers with different skill levels and methods to achieve a result.
