Have to love this new booth...dry time was incredible!  From panel lines to base camo in about an hour...wow.

QuoteLooking good :)
Yes, while... the support can seems so huge... Is it a 5 gallon can or a 1/144 model? :P

It's just a normal 72nd scale Revell T-bolt...group build on MM, you know...for those of you who don't use a mini-paint booth, I heavily recommend them!

 Panel lines...now to start on the weathering:

Holy crap, Chris!  When I grow up, that's how I'm going to paint models, too!!

D*mn, that looks realistic and it's not even done yet!   :wub:  
Styrene in my blood and an impressive void in my cranium.

I can only echo Mr Howling Mouse's comments. That is one beee-yoooo-tiful paintjob! Color me impressed!

So nice... :wub:
Innocent question: is Manta a mistyping for Malta, or is it a name related to the Manta big skate-fish?  :huh:

Manta is a city on the Ecuadorian coast.

Someday, I'll even finish a model ...

Very nice but don't tease us with just one pic of the completed build.  We want more.  Like, what kind of weapons load is it carrying?

Holy crap, how did I miss that beauty?

Out of Manta (yep, on the coast, where they fly Magisters now)  the weapons load was light to zero...relying mostly on the heavy guns of the 47.  The belly tank area was filled in, as the ops were run very close to field support too :
