That's a really good build. Like the plane, like the kit.

Nice job on the old Frog kit. Good to see these old ones being made. That shiny finish would not have lasted long on a carrier!

Thanks very much Ed, completely agree about too shiny, I am still to learn how to do weathering !

cheers Pat

Aaaah..... my old friend!

 

Nice job on a cool vintage kit

 

Great scheme and from a bloke who shudders at canopies (which has stalled many a project.....) hats off to you on the Barracuda!

 

All the best

G-day Bruce

Long time no hear, I hope you are well.

Thanks to the tip from AdrianMF, the canopy wasn't half as bad as I thought. I have described how to do it above, it's brilliant and so blooming simple even I can do it.

I completely agree with you about masking, having previously got rid of a part built Me110 nightfighter cause I couldn't face the canopy...... not any more  

cheers Pat

It's a Frog, FAA, and most cripsly rendered.

A fine hat-trick Pat.
