cjhm Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Just finished this one, great little kit in 1/72 from Airfix I've had to setup a temporary build area on top of an old dresser so I can stand up whilst modelling due to sciatica so have been doing stuff as simply a possible All paint by brush, Lifecolor for grey\blue. Quickshine to gloss before decals, Lifecolor Matt Varnish then MIG cold grey enamel wash. Seatbelts are a cheeky printout of Eduard colour etch cut out and glued in place, aerial is Eze-Line. I was going to do the more colourful red striped tail version but the decals would not slip in between the rudder and tail (bunged up with paint I think). Pics are a bit dull but will do some more when it's bright outside Hope you enjoy, more of my models here: http://blog.cjhm.net/ and here: https://twitter.com/cjhm_models/ 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREG DESTEC Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Like it! A great rendition of the Wildcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Nice model! Good to know Airfix`s new kit can give such rewording results. Do you have a wip thread for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stever219 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 What a lovely rendition of the Wildcat: it doesn't look like a refugee from the fire dump or that someone's dragged a grubby rag along all the panel joints. One of my earliest kits was the original Airfix Wildcat and your model is increasing the urge to go out and get one of these new kits just to see how things have changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelh Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Nicely done but causes me to feel a pang of guilt that I haven't finished my Wildcat. Tomorrow, definitely tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
