1/48 Fairey Firefly Mk.IV, Dutch Navy


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Here's my just finished 1/48 Special Hobby Fairey Firefly Mk.IV, done as a Dutch Naval Air Service one, based at Biak in New Guinea in around 1960. Not my best ever build, but at least I managed to finish a Special Hobby kit this time. Previous ones always ended up on the shelf of doom for some reason. It was painted with Humbrol and ModelMaster, decals from the kit and a gun sight from Quickboost.

Hello Pete,

Being a Dutchmen, it is always good to see Dutch naval Aircraft

You turned this Special Hobby kit into a very nice model.

I like the shark mouth on the nose.

The Fleet Air Arm was quite happy with their FR4/5 Firefly's

Regards, Dirk / The Netherlands.

I don't know what you don't like about it. I think it looks great! 

I'm not happy with the weathering. I should really put more effort (and some money) in learning the secrets of post shading.
