Just finished this repaint of a used Valkyrie. Was missing pieces and was painted badly with a very thick coat of black. I free painted the nose art on it myself. First time I have tried doing that.

Looks great! Very WWII actually

**LutherMax**

Love the teeth

**Emperors_Champion**

Looks really good!

It always amazes me how much land you guys have... if us brits took outside action shots all you'd see would be our crappy 3 bed semis on ex-council estates!

Thanks! Washington is a beautiful state lots of land out here.

Well done on the flying tiger teeth!

**Darth Bob**

Yeah, the landscape in the background really brings the model to life. I really like the scheme. Not the most creative look, but executed very well.

Haha exactly what I was thinking [sitting in my 1 bed downstairs flat

] Really like the teeth.

**Ailaros**

Nice. I'd just add some wash to gunk everything up a bit. Make it look a bit more well-used than factory-fresh.

**allofher**

The mouth just makes this amazing!

**Samurai_Eduh**

As someone who will be assembling and painting a Valk soon, this is inspiring. Nice work!

**Ratius**

Love the yellow, brings me back to the old Airfix days and my Focke Wulfs.

**Dethco**

Thank you all for the feedback. Going to try something new with the next one!

**Sledgehammer**

Sweet

im making my first 40k army right now and they are based on the Flying Tigers. When i do get a valkyrie i intend to make mine look as close the the avg as possible.

any tips on how to do the teeth?

ps: imo it needs eyes and that would complete this.

**Squidbot**

Fantastic.

**AK-47**

Looking good, the shark teeth really finish the model, every valkyrie should have one .

Draw it out in pencil first then build it up from there in paint.Find a frame of reference where to start and stop on both sides I used the rivets in the canopy. If you would like to know the paints I used I can tell you. I was going to try eyes but couldn't place them right.

**insaniak**

Yeah, the nose art really makes it. Nice job.

**RileyJessup**

Love the nose art the sharks mouth just screams army plane
