SimonL Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I’ve been in the modelling doldrums recently due to a variety of reasons. Had a few weeks of extended leave, so I dug this one out of the stash. It was meant to be a quick build, but didn't quite work out that way. I did finish it before heading back to work on Monday though! Brush painted with Tamiya acrylics, build thread can be found here: here Finished with the markings from the box for ZF290 of 207 Squadron RAF, May 2012. Thanks for looking. Looks pretty good with its gloss black Hawk brethren I completed during this break as well. 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 That’s turned out very nicely Simon. The white decal placement around the canopy is particularly good. Nice trio you’ve managed to acquire there. Cheers.. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 A fine result, Simon. The canopy framing looks very neat. How did you achieve that? Regards Richard C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Very nicely done! I can see a lot of rather intricate work in the paint and decals, for sure. Like the finish on the exhaust pipe! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
