Very nice!

Very neat! An aircraft you don't see very often.

How "short-runish" was the kit and how did you paint the registration (free-hand with a brush or with masks)?

Kit isn't perfect, especially undercarriage and the glass parts. There are no radiators on the underside of the engine covers. For the Registration I used painting masks other markings are kit decals. I also painted the French markings on the rudder and the stabilizer.

Beautiful model. The metal finish is very nice, which is particularly difficult on short-run kit. Bravo.

What primer/paint did you used?

 

Cheers,

A beautiful model of a subject that is rarely seen.

 

Superb photography showing every angle of the model too.

 

Thank you Jerzy.

Lovely build of a rarely seen aircraft. Colour scheme is very appealing.
