russ c Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Hi everyone, Just thought I`d show some pic`s of Hasegawas 1/48 Kittyhawk that I`ve just completed for my Brother In Law Completed as the 2nd option in the box.... to represent Flying Officer Neville Dukes; Kittyhawk Mk I, of 112 Squadron, Libya 1942. Built almost completely from the box contents with just some seat belts, brake pipes, resin exhausts and aerial wires added Had a bit of trouble getting the Shark Mouth decals to fit, so there`s a bit of hand painting involved there. Hope you enjoy, thanks for looking Cheers Russ 42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Lovely job! I have the 1/32 version hidden away to build in this very scheme. I'd love to get anywhere near the finish you have here. Edge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
