FGMM Corsair 1/38

Thought I'd submit my recent Corsair build. It has a modified landing gear and spinner. Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures of the actual build. (Got caught up in the excitement of the thing, I guess.)

You really made this FG design stand out - EXCELLENT. How did you get the shiny surface finish - it looks great.

Thank you, gentlemen. John, I got the shiny surface by varnishing the completed model. Since my ink (Lexmark P4350 printer) is water soluble, first I sprayed gloss lacquer, two or three light coats. Then I brushed on two full coats of Minwax Polycrylic, a water-based varnish.
