Ali62 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Here is the latest completion. This was rescued by a colleague who for some weird reason planned to paint this green and blue, and the paint chosen was CANVAS paint, well that is what he said!!!! So no idea what it was exactly but it was NOT easy to remove and was about 1mm thick in places. Anyway I said I would build it for him as long as I could do it in the correct scheme, been building it on and off between other things, nice little kit but when I do one for myself I will take a little more time and refine a few things. Always liked the scheme, and glad I tried it out on a small kit, will one day do one in 1/48 scale, yes I know I will have to mod the wings, but I have made a start making some fabric wings just need to get them completed. First picture shows the original state of the painted parts second 2 show cleaned down and then the rest are as it is now. cheers Ali 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin @ Freightdog Models Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Nice job Ali, did you airbrush or brush paint, or a mix of both? Either way I'm sure he liked it. Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyot Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) Great save Ali,.....nice kit isn`t it! When you do your model remember to add the flat metal panels behind the gun bays,.... this area is incorrectly depicted as being fabric on the kit.
