grab Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) Hi! I've recently started this tiny aircraft. This is the first short-run kit I've made, and I'm very pleased with it. I plan to paint to winter Finnish camo. So far the followings were done: - riveting - drilling out in and outlets and the exhaust pipes - thinning the trailing edges - added more detail to the cockpit Cockpit was painted with Gunze H337 onto black base. Details were made with Vallejo, and for weathering Tamiya enamels and Weathering Masters were used. Edited February 16, 2017 by grab 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaCee26 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Hi Grab! Nice subject and beautiful work! One thing might be still possible to add is the Finnish armored back rest for the pilot. It starts from bottom of the seat and continues up to pilots shoulders and head. It has brown cushion on the pilot side. Pls. see these photos: A seat from a Brewster: ...and a Hurricane: Cheers, AaCee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile the fuselage has been glued together, I cannot remove the seat without damage anymore.... It will stay as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
