Hello
I did start doing my SM.79 but that's a dead project at the moment, because I'm waiting until I get my new airbrush (and then I'm practicing on a Blenheim). So anyway, got myself a MC.200 at my LMS for aroud £5. I tried to use my cheap airbrush to spray the base coat, which then broke. So I used the Humbrol one instead as that was £10. It was alright, but a bit hit or miss. .I think it's turned out alright so far, just got to add decals and then it'll be done.
It's taken about 5 hours so far (plus a lot of airbrush faffing). It was my first aircraft done with acrylics (and first making a mask for a canopy...it wasnt entirely successful), and really my first complete model of about 4 years!
Anyway, pictures!
Assembled, canopy with my first 'masking' job.
The underside sprayed, just as my airbrush and comp died!
Now fully painted, and I'm pretty happy with it.
Added some thread, needs tiring a bit...bit, and it looks better in person haha.
Overall I'm pretty happy with how it's turned out so far, my first model in a long long time.
