GUEST GALLERY: SBD-3 Dauntless 1/32 by TOMÁS DE LA FUENTE.

Another Navy bird. This time the Trumpeter 1/32 Dauntless by Tomás de la Fuente. Tomás is one of those few modellers with the capacity of making models of any country, age or scale and keep the same realistic touch. I admire his way of weathering with subtle but very attractive effects. Notice how Tomás superbly imitated the degraded paint effect, the exhaust staining or the characteristic chipping of the Navy aircrafts. And the detailing and paintjob of the cockpits is equally amazing.
A wonderful piece, no doubt.

The "Tiny Tiger" work: Revell 1/72.

This small (really small) vignette was inspired by some evocative photos of the Villers-Bocage battle on 13 June 1944, one week after D-Day. I used Revell´s 1/72 Tiger Ausf. E along with Mig productions detail set and Atak zimmerit set, really nice sets both of them.
Ob´s stürmt oder schneit...

The first picture below is a photomanipulation with the model, please don´t use it as documentation. I think that the Photoshop work is obvious but some people have complaint because they have been cheated by some of my former manipulations. Please remember the first rule in Internet: DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING!

The finished model photos were shot by Luciano Rodríguez. Thanks Lu.

GUEST GALLERY: Vought F4U1-D Corsair "White 167" 1/48 by MAREK VRZÁK.

This is the plane flown by Lt. Cdr. Roger R. Hedrick from the USS Bunker Hill in February 1945. This stunning model was made by Czech modeller Marek Vrzák. Marek used the Tamiya kit along with Aires detailing set. Both detailing and painting are equally awesome, that´s the firm of an artist.
It took him several years of work to finish this beauty but I´m sure you will all agree with me that it was time extremely well spent.
