One of the most realistic paint jobs I have ever seen! What paint did you use for the copper ring on front of cowling? May I humbly ask why you did not weather this model? MC 200 was often covered in oil in service. This is in no way finding fault . I only wish I could produce a model half as god as yours.

Your remark is the true, I neglected the stage of weather, I am going to improve.
For the ring cowling, I painted with " alcoholic copper " Prince August.
Thanks,
