SimonL Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Big weekend, managed to complete two models. Her is a completed one from the shelf of doom. I am not sure why I put this aside, but it has been sitting there for the best part of 2 years. I suspect it may have been I had lost heart after having some issues with the decals and also because I didn't want to deal with the undercarriage, which I had found fiddly the last time I made this kit (as a B Mk IV), and made a hash of that time. I was reminded of it when rummaging in my paint supplies and finding the pot of own-mix PRU blue (and no, I cannot remember the recipe, other than it contains Tamiya acrylics). Finished as a PRIV of 540 Squadron, RAF Benson. Final coat of Italeri Acryl flat varnish. Only just had enough of the own-brew PRU, down to the very last dregs. I used Clearfix for the camera windows, found it a bit hard to handle. All in all though very happy with how it turned out. Build thread here. Thanks for looking. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 It would have been a shame to leave it to gather dust unfinished. The glazed nosed Mosie is really the best in my book. Great model all around! JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
