Sturmovik Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 My first Eduard kit, and probably my last until the Tempest V Series 2 comes out. The aircraft was easy to build, but the decals (specially the wing´s Iron Crosses) sticked as soon as they touched the surface. I ended up replacing the crosses on the wings with spares from a Cartograf printed decal sheet, since I broke one. I also almost break one of the tulips that went over the engine scoops, but I saved it. Spinner spiral was painted. Here´re the photos: 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Very attractively done, your paint work looks very good to my eye. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 You will sooner than later. I’ve only bought one set of A/m decals in the last 14 years. You’d be surprised how quick those and your parts bin build up. I have to go from an 8” deep tub to an 18” deep tub for my spares. I cant close the one i have now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturmovik Posted November 14, 2018 Author Share Posted November 14, 2018 The parts bin has quite a few pieces, but I can still close it easily. Removing the remaining sprues helps. As for the decals, I live in a place where its nigh impossible to get something through customs unless you want to wait hours on a line, before risking to be told you're missing a paper (customs declaration, credit card spending, mail storage fee etc...), and having to go back empy handed. I was lucky to get my hands on two 1:48 decal sheets from a guy who used to live in Germany. 1 hour ago, stevehnz said: Very attractively done, your paint work looks very good to my eye. Steve. The paintjob always looks better when the decals are on though, it busies up the model. Thanks! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
