[mgolovanov]

Hello all

Just uploaded final photos of my P-40B / Pearl Harbor build:

WWII single-engine fighters - Pearl Harbor, 1941 (1:32) - Paper Modelers Gallery

Hope you enjoy it, and any questions are welcome. My build log is located at my site (sorry, only good russian for now; I am working on good translation options)

Very nice ICBIMOOP, although you do put a glossy finish that gives a unique look. Nice, nice model. What do you use to acheive this gloss? (you have probably answered this already but I don't recall)

What's a ICBIMOOP?

I Can't Believe It's Made Out Of Paper.
And very nice looking model

A Masterpiece...
@Glen, I think it's printed on high-gloss paper

This time, I have used HP Superior Paper 180 Glossy, 0.18 мм - this is a special paper for presentations. Having been laminated with glossy acrylic spray (I do this immediately after printing - for obvious reasons), it turned TOOOO glossy - I was hardly able to make at least decent shots, patches of light here and there, not appropriate for a military plane.

I think it looks great Mikhail!

It does look great, it looks like a preserved war-bird with the gloss!

Another beauty added to your impressive collection. I can only dream of being such an accomplished modeler.
