Happy to share with all...... and thanks for this opportunity.
How about before and afters? I can post some of the restorations and mods that I do as well as work from my friend Steve Williams. We collectively do work together on the weekends, me my models, and he for his clients.
First up - Here is an example of a great find on eBay that was a mess, especially when the box arrived with all kinds of rattles. This example is an ultra-rare F111 TACT in-house that everyone missed thinking that it was the smaller Topping model. The repair was to put it all together, make new art and decals and color match the gray. Over 60% is original paint as is the canopies, flight surfaces, and refueling position lines. It loathed me to reapply the tail marking crooked to match the original, but hey - restore is restore, not refinish. The first picture is from the original eBay listing.... a diamond in the rough and the rest shows the broken bits and the final process.
