Mirage Hobby 1/48 PZL-23B Karaś

Post by MakingModelsAgain »

Well, there certainly won't be any points for my thread regarding this build, but for what it's worth, here's the reveal. Poor Uncle Stanko will be most displeased with my apparent lack of accompanying info...

As I commented under the YT vid, superb finishing on Karaś, Gary. It's a true masterpiece!

Cheers,

Amazing looking model you have there :bow:: the streaking just looks spot on and I love the finish you have on the prop. I enjoy your videos on YouTube, I never thought to pre-shade with different colours I will have to give it a go sometime. :th: also I will be keeping a lookout for SAM magazine but it is hard to find here and we are always about 1 or 2 months behind :cheers2:
