Andrea Manfroi Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Hello friends, here you are the result of my latest effort... The 1/48 Italeri kit is apretty good one, plenty of details and photo etched parts. The model is basically OOB with just few scratch built details such as the radar antenna and some internal parts of cockpit and landing gear bays. For painting I used a mix of Tamiya and Italeri acrylic colours sprayed with a gravity airbrush using a 0.2 mm nozzle. Any comment and suggestion is more than welcome. Thanks for looking.

Wez Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I like that a lot, I've always liked the nightfighter versions - somehow look more menacing than the single seat versions. Very good job there Andy. Wez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Excellent and evoctive build! One can only speculate how it might have affected the night bombing campaign, had it been available in numbers with experienced crews. Good work! Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabat Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Fantastic Shwalbe, really impressed with the weathering around the intake mouth. How was the fit of the kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winenut Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) That's brilliant. Looks incredibly menacing Congratulations Edited January 27, 2014 by Winenut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrea Manfroi Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Thnaks to all for the nice comments. Re the question about the fit of the kit, the fuselage does not present any issue. wings fitting and engine nacelles requires a bit of putty and sanding but really nothing dramatic. One week point is the main landing gear assembly: it is a bit difficoult to have the right angle for the legs. cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 very nice, am a very big fan of nightfighters, especially Luftwaffe ones! I've got the Dragon one somewhere, just love the 262..........may have to build another one. Well done Andy, look forward to seeing more of your builds.......plus you have to join us in the Group Builds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
