Viking Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) Many thanks for the kind comments guys, it is much appreciated. Rizzo, give the fishing line a try, I much prefer it for the strength it gives these larger models, they really benefit from it. One extra picture taken during construction that might be of interest. I painted false roundels on the underside of the top wings where they would be visible when viewed from underneath as sunlight streamed through. On the real thing they were painted on the top surface of the top wing directly on to the clear doped linen, and then the PC8 camoflage colour went on later, producing a shadow effect when seen from underneath. Its very subtle but I'm reasonably pleased how it turned out; Can you see it? Cheers, John [edit - damn typos!] Edited May 22, 2012 by Viking 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cngaero Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) That, my friend, is a thing of sheer beauty. It's one of the best models I've seen on this site. It is immaculate in every sense and every area of the model is perfectly finished. My only criticism....................it's not mine Thank you for letting us share it with you.

Meatbox8 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 A beautiful build of museum quality. Terrific paintwork and rigging. These Wingnut models really do look amazing. I wish they'd venture in to 1/72 as I'd really like an Fe2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
