moaning dolphin Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Good day all I rescued these two from the shelf of doooom where they had sat for a good many years. First up is the Airfix FR46. There is much debate out there on this so I opted to put in cameras (very nearly put in a wing fold!) The read that it didn't have cameras so deleted them but may be mixed up with the Lossie version in an earlier kit. I ummed and erred but plumped for OOB version of 1892 NAS at RNAS Culham. I used the eduard cockpit set and model master acrylics. She is shown in a very clean state as I read that they were used by the CO of that squadron but that may also be erroneous! Next up is the Airfix LIII kit bashed with a Hasegawa Vb. I used the fuselage of the Hasegawa with the wings and hook from the Airfix kit. An entertaining effort if nothing else! She is from 887NAS from HMS Indefatigable. Straight OOB (es). This was also used a bit of a paint mule. I had bought a new (cheap) airbrush and was experimenting with freehand camo. All was going well until half way through following the light pattern I switched to the dark! So cam is a little 'non-authentic' or artistic license! I used both the kit decals and they were poor. The FR46 had a couple of smudged rounds. The LIII stencils disintegrated and I used what I could. Luckily the big ones held together. Enjoy and thanks for looking 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
