MODEL, TEXT AND IMAGES BY RAY STRYKER ACE

This was a commission build that I finished a couple months ago. The customer wanted the P-47 flown by Francis Stanley "Gabby" Gabreski during WWII. I used the Academy 1:48 Scale Gabby Gabreski Spedial Edition kit. He requested that the plane only show 22 kills. I do not know why that request was made but the customer is always right.

There are tons and tons of video-tutorials about scale models, dispersed on the Net. But only a few are truly worth to watch. We select the best and only the best video-tutorials: building, detailing, painting, weathering, dioramas and more.

We just finished to tag all the videos in our archives, and the first results is here: a selection of tutorials about the weathering in scale models: all what you need to know to give to your models the perfect dirty or dusty or rusty look!
