Very nice, I'm just finishing up this model in 1/48 with a few minor changes, nothing as impressive as this recolor or the 166 conversion.

Beautiful clean small scale build. Sure is an ugly bugger though. I really think it needs another canopy

Hi Pericles. Very nice work at that scale as usual. As Argentinian is nice to see that colors

A couple of observations: The front edge of the wing seems to be to square. Is this a problem from the model ? About the colors I don't know maybe are the pictures but for me the blue and the yellow of sun are too light.

Saludos
Luis

Hi Alcides

The edge of wings is a big problem in this model, the white version is a larger scale, the faces of wing are separated , is a was an inability mine and unfortunately on one wing only problem is most pronounced. In my last models I not have "hit the hand" ...

About the colors, I believe is a problem of my artificial light , because in original the colors are dark in eye, I use to made the colors the profiles in Padin monograph about Martin 139

Best regards...

Yeah, that's mine too. The only reference until now. Sadly very few is available about the old years in the FAA.

Gomidefilho, extraordinario modelo.
Muy interesante, ya que modelos en colores de paises latinos,
no creo que haya muchos.
¿Tienes alguna idea de cuándo podríamos tener el modelo en el folder de Fiddlersgreen, amigo?
