Hewy Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Just finished this , loved every minute of it ,had a few minor disasters along the way such as 1,dropping it after paint and some decals and breaking the nose off, the winch and some p e pinging off into the ether, 2, tipping a bottle of micro sol onto the decal sheet 2/3 of th way through ,hence some minor ones missing and a couple not quite in position, due to them melting befor my eyes,lastly apologies to the wessex faithfull, fans and pilots and ground crew for any irritating and glaring errors ,, hope you like it Glynn 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Nice work Glynn, I like the subtle weathering on the airframe, it really breaks up the the green finish. How did you find the join of the glass work to the airframe? I have one sitting on the shelf of doom and I remember thinking windscreen was going to be a nightmare to fit!

The green was that dark though it didn't take to a dark panel line wash and i didn't like the light dirt one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
