Alan Hooker Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Airfix 1/72 Supermarine Swift Fr.5. Have to say, not one of Airfix's best recent efforts. Had major problems closing up the forward fuselage and nose. Ended up having to remove quite a bit of plastic on the inside to get her to close up around the pit. Hand brushed with Humbrol enamels and Revell aquacolours, and finished off with a spray of Humbrol Satin cote (y) 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 A superb looking Swift. You've made an art form of paint brushing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TANK63 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Your hand brushing is better than my airbrushing, must be doing something wrong! Lovely model. Perhaps you could post some lesson on how you paint your models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gustavo Bunger Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Hand brushed !! Superb job, I bought one last month, it seems a very nice kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBaron Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 As with other comments, it's hard to believe this is hand brushed the finish is that good. A gem of a Swift. Lovely work sir. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
