Redboost Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Hi folks,Brian Cauchi's interesting book inspired my latest build, the Mk VB of the Malta ace George F. Beurling. The kit is old good Tamiya with few extra items as replacement canopy from Rob Taurus, Eduard seatbelts and Quickboost gunsight. The Hamilton Hydromatic propeller was sourced from Sword kit.The decals come from excellent Rising Decals sheet. The colors and weathering are my interpretation of the EP706; the Dark Bluegrey color is mixed from Extra Dark Sea Grey and Roundel Blue sprayed on base Dark Earth and Middle Stone. The paint scratches are done with "hair spray technique" using AK Interactive Worn effects solution.CheersLibor 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggers Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Very nice indeed Libor. Excellent finish and nice subtle weathering,lovely. Screwball was certainly a character(he supposedly shot down Doug Bader for a start) and the story about his "Best shootdown of WWII" is due to his amazing gunnery skills.

PC2012 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 That's beautiful. Can I ask.... there is a very realistic soft sheen to the paint. It's very subtle... can you tell me how you did that? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redboost Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 Thank you gentleman! The paint sheen may be a residue of my lightning box, anyway, the finish is done in semi matt varnish mixed from Mr.Color gloss and matt varnish in about 1:1 ratio. Cheers Libor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 That's very nice indeed! I had to double check the scale and still can't quite believe it's 1:72. A very 'alive' impression! Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
