Rodders154 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) My first kit that I have finished in a good many years sorry about the quality of the pics. Decals have silvered a lot but "hay ho". Really did enjoy doing this kit Rodders Edited August 8, 2013 by Rodders154 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagoneer Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Hi Rodders, So many models and not so much time, this is one on my list to do and you've inspired me to get on with it. Your build looks neat so you should be pleased. If you've not put anything over the top of your decals then you might rescue the silvering by using some Humbrol Decalfix to re-set them. Humbrol say it can eliminate silvering when decals are applied over matt surfaces. Wag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanSAR95 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 This looks fantastic and the d-day stripes really make it stand out. Nice one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Lovely job, I think the Dakota is a plane like the spitfire in the sense it just looks right from every angle! Think you've also inspired me to pick up the Airfix version, which I think might be this kit in a different box... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the Airfix kit IS the Italeri kit in a different box... same colour plastic too (OD green). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders154 Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 Thanks for the kind comments folks. I have a matchbox Chinook on the go & UH1C. Looking to source a italeri s55 type chopper but having a few problems at the moment as even king kit dont have them still living 8 miles from RNAS Yeovilton I may get lucky on the 26th of October at the model show.
