  1. This is beautiful ! Apologies if I’m late to the thread but awesome display….
  2. Hi, thx for comment(s) - The seams were all a pain. As you can't fill and sand; (or I couldn't) the best I could do was mitigate them with Vallejo putty wiped into the seam and covered with a Molotow chrome pen....I used a Brillo or a scouring pad from the wife's pantry to lightly brush the chrome....
  3. Sorry, I didn’t answer your question fully, it’s an original Hawk kit.....see below
  4. I’m not sure. It had the standing pilot and a sitting one. No trolley though...
  5. A HAWK plated U-2A. 1/48 scale. I brushed the chrome finish to calm it down a bit...
  6. Hi, - sorry, wasn't meaning to be vague - it was Alclad II Chrome lacquer for plastic - sprayed with an Iwata double action airbrush - it was sprayed onto Tamiya TS-14 gloss black applied straight from the rattle can. I prepped the unpainted plastic with triple grit sanding sticks till I had a high sheen (and still missed some blemishes over and over....) The Attempt at a new YP-38 I posted earlier is shown below - no white wash was used on this as it was intended to be straight off of the shop floor....same paint combo was used....
  7. Hi, thx - yes - very thinned acrylic white -I mottled it with brush and used it about twice as heavy on the seams (scientifically speaking I coated the seams twice - the Hasegawa kit has raised panel lines) - anyway, it kinda looks like the start of oxidation...
  8. Hi, thx for commenting - Minor sanding of some flash on the sides and smooth the aft section that butts up to the forward landing gear bay - the ladder entry point doesn't align well with the hatch opening on the fuselage, it's about 3mm too far forward - I used filler to close the gap there and it turned out okay....it was a nice addition in my opinion...
  9. Hi, thanks! it's a highly polished gloss black undercoat, Alclad and a white acrylic wash(very thin mix)
  10. Hi Paul, yes a scratch built one from a monogram P-80 wing tank .....
