Alpha Delta 210 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Hi As an antidote to my long-drawn out and frustrating Heller/Airfix Dragon Rapide, I wanted a quick and simple build, so literally threw this little one together last Sunday. The kit was courtesy of Parabat and the decals were courtesy of Dave T - thanks guys! This is the second one I have built and I am much happier with the result (except for my pants masking on the canopy, which even a toothpick couldn't remedy!) Sorry for the picture quality, but I took them in low-light before heading off to Old Warden yesterday. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canberraman Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 A great little Gnat. Knowing how notoriously hard it is to get a deep but smooth yellow finish you've done fabulously - well done! Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabat Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Really good, well done! Great finish, it looks really smooth and well finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Delta 210 Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 Thanks for all the kind words, chaps. Apart from the poor masking on the canopy, the build was more successful than my first attempt (particularly the wing to fuselage join on the intake.) I primed the model with Alclad Grey Primer followed by a couple of coats of Tamiya white before the Humbrol enamel top coat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabat Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Great little collection of fine trainers there, very colourful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natter Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Beautiful Gnat to go with the other colourful trainers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 Thanks, Dave. I'm pleased you like my little Gnat. My wife always likes the colourful models, so I am doing another aerobatic team's mount at the moment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
