I hope all the BMer's out there are safe and well and getting in plenty of bench time with the current situation we're in. Despite the fact that I seem to be spending plenty of time at the bench, it's been ages since I've managed to get anything posted to the site - just don't seem to be gettting anything across the finish line. Then just like buses, 2 have come along at once. First up is the ICM 1/72 SB 2M-100A which this thread focuses on and then secondly is the Airfix Mk1 Hawker Hurricane (which will be in a separate thread). The ICM SB 2M has been a kit of two halves for me. In the main it's been a fantastic kit with some fantastic details and generally the fit etc has been very good with some parts being even better than good. However, on the flip side, there are some elements where the fit has been poor and has required a fair amount of fettling. The clear parts are only ok and the undercarriage is extremely delicate for the amount of weight sitting on top of it so stealth is required to ensure this stays in place. All in all I've really enjoyed this kit which seemed to be proven by the fact it never warranted even a short stint on the SofD as I never lost interest. Built predominantly OOB with the addition of seat belts and wires for the tail surfaces, it was painted using Vallejo Model Air colours with the addition of weathering in the form of a pin wash and various pigments just to help give it a more war weary and worn in look. As always I seem to have gone a bit overboard with the photos - hope you enjoy and as always your feedback is always appreciated as it's great to learn from each other. Hopefully see you over in my Hurricane thread too. Kris
