1:72 Trumpeter Harbin H-5 Beagle Albanian Air Force

[Ryan Hothersall]

The 1:72 Trumpeter kit of the Harbin H-5 built in the markings of the Albanian Air force.

No major problems with the basic build, but if you want the bomb bay closed, there are a few gaps that will need filling. I try to keep all that sort of thing closed as the interior won't be seen easily once it's in the display cabinet and with everything closed up, makes painting a bit easier.

Overall colour used was Tamiya XF-16 Aluminium.

Decals are a mix of Blue Rider Albanian Air Force decals and the numbers are off the kit decal sheet.

Something different! Nice one, I'm looking forward to the 1/48 kit that's supposed to be coming out

Lovely model.Funnily enough I was looking at my one the other day and thinking about getting started on it!

Ryan, a nice clean build of an interesting type with an attractive understated paint job,

Well done, Trev.

Nice job on an aeroplane you don't see built up very often! I like the markings also - something a little different.

Regards,

Jason
