Its magnificent! I can't believe the amount of detail you packaged into this model at 1/72. Its absolutely beautiful! If you can spare a moment and write a short article for the Gallery it would be much appreciated. Thank you for sharing!

Wow Roman! What a great job! Excellent detailing. It's a nice kit with the limitations of a limited run production but you make it look so easy!! Congratulations on a beautifully finished model. I'll take some tips from your model to enhance my Ro.44.

Which reminds me to get my Ro.44 back! I haven't taken pictures of the finished model.

Incredible job!

Best regards,
Just build it!

Roman,
Truely amazing craftsmanship.Not having built an Octopus kit before,I've to ask is all the detail seen in your photos kit supplied? Or is this an example of your fine scratchbuilding? Either way I'm impressed with your RO-43.Honestly if you hadn't told us it was 1/72 scale I believe most would have assumed it was 1/48 scale or larger.Again Beautiful project my friend. Oh I almost forgot to ask please post any in progress photos,and welcome to Stormo
Regards,
Gregory Jouette

You have done an outstanding job with the detail!!
As Vince pointed out, I also can't believe the amount of detail you packaged into this model at 1/72.
Looking forward to the article.

I'd have to work really hard to get the Ro.43 1/48 resin kit I have looking as good as that. Think I'll convert it to the Ro.44 instead!
